College Career
Gerald decided to attend Penn State. After redshirting his freshman (2004) season, Cadogan worked his way to second on the depth chart at left tackle behind future first-round draft pick, Levi Brown in 2005. He earned Academic All-Big Ten honors that season.
Cadogan was switched to guard for the 2006 season, appearing in 11 games and helping tailback Tony Hunt compile the second of two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He returned to his natural position of tackle in 2007, and started all 13 games for the Nittany Lions and earned first-team Academic All-America and Academic All-Big Ten honors that year.
Cadogan was a 2008 candidate for college football's prestigious Draddy Trophy, presented annually to the nation's top college football student-athlete. At season's end, he was named a consensus first team All-Big Ten selection and was awarded the conference's Sportsmanship Award. He was also named an Academic All-American for a second time.
