Andrew Luck Named Stanford Football's First General Manager

The former NFL quarterback takes on a leadership role to revitalize the struggling program and modernize its operations.

Andrew Luck, a former Stanford star quarterback and NFL standout, has been appointed as the general manager of Stanford's football program in a newly created role.
Luck's responsibilities will include overseeing recruiting, roster management, coaching staff, and financial operations such as fundraising, sponsorships, and ticket sales.
Stanford's football program has endured six consecutive losing seasons, including a 3-9 record this year, and faces challenges adapting to the modern college football landscape, including NIL and transfer portal dynamics.
Luck, who retired from the NFL in 2019 after a successful but injury-plagued career, views this position as an opportunity to give back to the game and support his alma mater's athletic department.
The role reflects the increasing professionalization of college sports, with Luck aiming to help Stanford regain competitiveness both on the field and financially in the ACC era.
