STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will return for his junior season and skip the 2011 NFL draft, the school announced on Thursday.
"I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012", Luck said in a statement.
Luck was considered the consensus No. 1 pick if he decided to leave school after his sophomore season. He led the Cardinal to a 12-1 record this season, capped off by a 40-12 win over Virginia Tech in the Discover Orange Bowl.
Luck completed 70 percent of his passes in the 2010 season for 3,338 yards and 32 touchdowns. He threw only eight interceptions in 372 passing attempts.
Luck finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting to Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.
He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at Stanford
Good news for Pat...one less QB in the draft...

Was he supposed to be transferring to an FCS school or something?

What's he going to do with some cheap Stanford degree anyway? I guess the University of Barbados didn't have a football team.
This demonstrates just how hopeless/hapless the Panthers organization is given that they'd have picked him up.

Why would we need him? We've got Calusen & Pike....

Oh, I'm sure they can find some more third-rate QB's in the draft to add to their stable.

Richardson has lost it...his presser was absolutely horrible. This is the first time I've ever questioned my fanhood for a team.

Luck can get his degree next year, skip his 4th year of eligibility, and enter the draft next year as well. QED!
