Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is now the GM for the Stanford football program, and the Cardinal are making big moves.
On Thursday, Stanford landed a commitment from Class of 2027 four-star quarterback Sione Tu’amoheloa-Kaho, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.
NEWS: Four-star quarterback Sione Tu’amoheloa-Kaho is committing to Stanford, he tells ESPN. He’s ESPN’s No. 18 QB in the Class of 2027 from Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash. He’s a 6-foot-2, 210-pound pocket passer who pledged to coach Tavita Pritchard and GM Andrew Luck. pic.twitter.com/7IpljzcUZ4

Both On3 and 247Sports have Tu’amoheloa-Kaho as a four-star prospect, and both outlets have him ranked as a top-20 QB in the Class of 2027.
Tu’amoheloa-Kaho currently plays at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash. The future Cardinal QB has plenty of ties with Pritchard, the new head coach in Palo Alto. Pritchard is also from Tacoma,
Lots of connections between Kaho and Tavita Pritchard, who both come from Tacoma, Wa. Pritchard also overlapped in the Washington Commanders organization with Kaho’s older brother, former Alabama and UCLA linebacker Ale Kaho.

Big get for Stanford and Pritchard’s debut class. https://t.co/ebUXymw9AE
In November, Stanford hired Washington Commanders quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard as the new head coach. Pritchard was also a former Stanford QB, so he returns to his alma mater to try and right the ship in Palo Alto.
Stanford also received a $50 million donation from ex-player Bradford M. Freeman, so the Cardinal are trying to stay competitive in the new era of NIL and in the ACC after making the move from the Pac-12.
Stanford went just 4-8 in 2025 in its second season in the ACC, and Frank Reich was the interim head coach after Troy Taylor was fired due to bullying allegations.
