He beat out Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, Houston quarterback Case Keenum, Alabama running back Trent Richardson and LSU defensive back Tyrann Mathieu.
Luck, who is a finalist for tonight’s Davey O’Brien and Maxwell Awards, led the Pac-12 and ranked fifth nationally with a 167.50 pass efficiency rating. He threw for Stanford single-season record 35 touchdowns, had nine interceptions and completed 70 percent of his passes.
As if he hasn’t already won enough, Luck was also named CoSIDA’s Academic All-American of the Year for Football, carrying a 3.48 GPA as an architectural design major.
SB Nation’s 2011 college football awards stream will have the winners of each college football award, because it’s a college football awards stream.
