“I am thrilled to be back at Stanford,” said Luck. “This university and its football program have always held a special place in my heart. I am eager to contribute to the continued success of the Cardinal on and off the field.”
Luck was a standout quarterback at Stanford from 2009 to 2011, leading the team to an Orange Bowl victory in 2010. He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and played for the Colts for seven seasons. His knowledge of the game and his connections throughout the football world will be invaluable to the Cardinal.
“Andrew has proven himself to be a winner both on and off the field,” said Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir. “His passion for Stanford, his deep understanding of the game, and his leadership qualities make him the ideal person to lead our football program into the future.”
Luck’s return to Stanford is a significant boost to the football program. His experience, leadership, and connections will help the Cardinal continue to build a winning culture and compete for championships in the Pac-12 and beyond. The future of Stanford football looks bright with Andrew Luck at the helm.
