Geoffrey Thomas Hangartner (born April 22, 1982) is an American former professional football player who was a guard for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL draft. He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies. He played both the center and guard positions. Hangartner also played for the Buffalo Bills.
Hangartner attended New Braunfels High School in New Braunfels, Texas, and was a student and a letterman in football. In football, he helped lead his team to two state playoff appearances, and as a senior, was a first-team All-District choice and a second-team All-State selection.
College career
Hangartner started 36 consecutive games at center and offensive lineman for Texas A&M. As a senior in 2004, Hangartner moved from center to tackle, where he started all 12 contests. He was also a first-team All-Big 12 choice[1] and was selected to play in the Hula Bowl.
In the spring of 2004, Hangartner and a teammate were suspended from the team following Hangartner's arrest for driving while intoxicated. Witnesses said that racial slurs had been yelled from Hangartner's vehicle toward another car. Hangartner denied issuing any racial slurs and later took a polygraph backed up his assertions.[2]
