Andrew Luck to be inducted into Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame on Sept. 29

Andrew Luck was one of the greatest players in Stanford football history during his time there. He led the Cardinal to heights the program might never see again–leading the team to a blowout win over Virginia Tech in the 2011 Orange Bowl.

While his pro career with the Indianapolis Colts was shortened due to injuries, there’s no mistaking the amazing things he accomplished during his time with Stanford. On Wednesday evening, the Stanford football Twitter page announced that Luck will be inducted into their Hall of Fame on Sept. 29th.

Check out the video they released below.

Luck was recently inducted into the 2022 class for the College Football Hall of Fame.

The No. 1 overall pick in 2012, Luck played for the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL until 2018. In 2019 — at the age of 29 — he abruptly retired from football after winning 2018 Comeback Player of the Year.

He starred at Stanford from 2008-11 under Jim Harbaugh and finished second in Heisman Trophy voting in 2010 and 2011. While with the Cardinal, Luck threw for 9,430 yards and 82 touchdowns during three seasons. The 82 career passing touchdowns ranks him first in school history. His passing yardage total ranks him second all-time in program history. As a runner, he ran for 957 career yards on 163 carries with seven rushing touchdowns. His career rushing total ranks first all-time among all Stanford quarterbacks.

Luck was not only a two-time runner up for the Heisman Trophy, but he also won Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year honors twice. He was instrumental in turning around one of the worst programs in college football. Before his arrival, the Cardinal suffered seven straight losing seasons before he took the reins of the offense in 2009.

He guided Stanford to three bowl appearances when he was the starter (2009 Sun Bowl, 2011 Orange Bowl, and 2012 Fiesta Bowl). As a freshman in 2009, he earned freshman All-American honors from multiple media outlets.

Under his guidance, the Cardinal spent 29 consecutive weeks in the AP Poll, including 22 straight weeks ranked in the Top 10. He played a critical role in three of the most prolific offenses in Stanford football history–guiding the team to program scoring records in 2009 (461 points), 2010 (524 points), and 2011 (561 points). During his 38 starts with the program, the Cardinal offense scored 40 or more points 17 times.
