A 1951 graduate of Fordham College, Andy Lukac captained the 1950 football squad that went 8-1 his senior year. Originally, Lukac had earned a scholarship to Notre Dame, but following a stint in the army after being drafted, Andy came back to play under another football legend, Ed Danowski. Lukac played both offense and defense for the Maroon, but it was on defense where he really made a name for himself. In 1949, Lukac was named team MVP, leading the Rams to a 5-3 mark. He returned four interceptions for 62 yards as well as taking back 15 punts for 192 yards. Lukac was a durable and versatile athlete at Rose Hill, starting every game in his three-year career and playing outfield for the baseball Rams. He also coached high school football for 20 years in New Jersey.
