Geoffrey Thomas Hangartner (born April 22, 1982) is a former American football offensive lineman for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas A&M. He played both the center and guard positions.
Hangartner has 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.
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 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.
Hangartner was selected in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Panthers. He reportedly scored 47 (out of a possible 50) on the Wonderlic Personnel Test administered during the 2005 NFL Combine. Although he spent the entire 2005 season backing up Jeff Mitchell appearing sparingly on special teams, and as a reserve on the offensive line, he took over the starting position in the 2006 NFL season after starter Justin Hartwig went down with an injured groin muscle.
