Local TE with real frame, multi-sport toughness, and a freshman runway at Fresno State
Gerbo is a 2026 freshman tight end at Fresno State from Modesto, standing 6-4 and 235 pounds, and he arrives with a three-star recruiting profile plus a reputation for two-way toughness after playing tight end and defensive end in high school.[1][3][9] His differentiators are the size, physicality, and hometown fit: Fresno State recruited him as a local Central Valley target, and his background includes disruptive defensive-line production, including first-team all-league honors and a one-game 3.5-sack burst in high school.[1] He has no listed college stats yet, so the care factor is projection: this is a sturdy in-state developmental TE who could grow into a nasty in-line piece if his hands and route feel keep climbing.[1][7][9]
