Anyway, the second question is, how, exactly, did he escape the clutches of the Texas schools? Andrew Luck attended Stratford High in Houston and was rated by Scout.com as the nation's No. 4 quarterback prospect.
"All the Big 12 schools offered him,'' the father said. "Most of the SEC schools offered him. [Alabama's Nick] Saban came after him hard. A good number of Big Ten schools offered.
"Within Texas, though, the only school Andrew would have considered was [the University of Texas] and they didn't offer. He realized that early on and had no interest in the other state schools.''
The elder Luck said he played with and against a lot of Stanford grads while in the NFL. "There was always something special about them,'' he said. "They were smart; all were successful.''
Then, on Andrew Luck's spring break his high school junior year, a trip was taken to Palo Alto, Calif.
