One of the most precise passers in college football history, Andrew Luck put together a record-setting career at Stanford that saw him claim multiple national awards. The Houston, Texas, native becomes the 19th Cardinal player to join the College Football Hall of Fame.
A 2011 First Team All-American, Luck took home the Maxwell, Walter Camp and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm awards. The two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up (2010, 2011) transformed a Stanford program that had suffered seven-straight losing seasons before he became the starter in 2009. Luck would lead the Cardinal to a 31-7 record, including three-straight postseason berths and consecutive top 10 final rankings in 2010 (No. 4) and 2011 (No. 7). He was named the MVP at the 2011 Orange Bowl after throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Virginia Tech, which gave Stanford a school-record 12 wins.
A two-time Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year, Luck led the conference in multiple categories during his stellar 2011 campaign, including completion percentage (71.3) and passing efficiency (169.7). The two-time First Team All-Pac-12 selection is Stanford's all-time leader in career passing touchdowns (82) and passing efficiency (162.8). Ranking second in Cardinal history with 9,430 career passing yards, Luck owns two of the top four passing seasons in school history: 3,517 yards in 2011 and 3,338 in 2010. His .670 career completion percentage is the best in Stanford annals, as are his single-season completion percentages in 2010 (.707) and 2011 (.713). His 37 touchdown passes in 2011 are a single-season school record, followed by his 32 touchdown passes in 2010.
Luck presided over three of the most prolific offensive teams in Stanford history, helping the Cardinal to scoring records in 2009 (461), 2010 (524) and 2011 (561). Just as proficient in the classroom, he was named the 2011 Academic All-American of the Year, and he was a three-time First Team Academic All-Pac-12 honoree and a member of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society.
The first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Luck spent his entire seven-year career with the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-18. The four-time Pro Bowler was named the 2018 Comeback Player of the Year, and he owns the NFL rookie record for passing yards (4,373).
Luck is involved with several philanthropic pursuits, including Riley Children's Foundation and the Andrew Luck Book Club. He was previously honored by the NFF in 2008 as an NFF National High School Scholar-Athlete. Luck is now retired and living in Indianapolis.
