Yes, that's projected first overall NFL draft pick Andrew Luck.

The are wide-reaching ramifications of Luck's decision; let's run them down:

• Luck has until Jan. 15 to enter his name for the 2011 NFL draft. A lot can change between now and then.
• Does this mean Jim Harbaugh is returning to Stanford, or simply that Harbaugh will be drafting Luck No. 1 overall in the 2012 NFL draft?

• And finally, who the hell do the Panthers draft now?
