Andrew Luck may be gone from Stanford, but his name will live on as part of the school's football program.

Stanford announced Tuesday an anonymous donor had endowed the position of offensive coordinator in honor of the former quarterback.

The position currently held by Pep Hamilton will now be known as the Andrew Luck Director of Offense.

Endowing positions in the Stanford athletic department is common practice, but is usually reserved for head coaches and the athletics director. The official title of Cardinal coach David Shaw is the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football.

"It is a huge tribute," Luck said in a statement. "To have anything endowed in my name is a complete honor. I feel very fortunate to have come to Stanford, and I have always enjoyed representing the University. The offensive coordinators I've had here helped me not only in football, but also to grow so much as a person. To be a part of that leadership and position is a very proud legacy for me."

Luck left school after his junior season with a school-record 82 touchdown passes and as the all-time leader in total offense with 10,387 yards. He finished second in the Heisman in 2010 and 2011, while leading the school to consecutive BCS bowl appearances.

Luck was taken with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft last month by the Indianapolis Colts.
