Andrew Luck is returning to his alma mater to become the general manager of the Stanford football program, he told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The 35-year-old Luck, who quarterbacked the Cardinal from 2008-2011, is going back "home" as he told ESPN for this newly created role that will put him atop the program's hierarchy. The GM job will see Luck involved in everything Stanford football related, including handling the coaching staff, player personnel staff, recruiting, and roster management.
