Andrew Luck is going back to school

Andrew Luck was an NFL quarterback. Now he's packing lunch and making sure his pencils are sharpened for his first day of school.

"He's been done, but everybody still asks because he's so special and talented," Stanford coach David Shaw told Rich Eisen on Monday. "But he has moved on. He started grad school this fall. He just had baby No. 2. His life is great. He's very content on his NFL career. He's not fired up about how it ended, but it did end. He did a lot of great things and brought a lot of joy to the people of Indianapolis. Now it's time for Chapter 2."

Eisen asked for clarification, to which Shaw said, "I don't know if I was supposed to publicize that or not.

"He's starting grad school this fall. He and his wife, Nicole, are coming back out this way and he's going to be around. He loves the Stanford environment and he and his family are going to spend some time here. We can't wait to be around him."

A search for Luck in the Stanford directory does bring up a result, but no additional information is available. The Stanford Daily reported that Luck is pursuing a Masters of Arts in Education

Luck was a student at Stanford from 2008-2011 as a two-time Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year and Heisman runner-up. He graduated from Stanford with a degree in architectural design.
