Brandon Luczak receives MIAA's Al Deal Scholar-Athlete Award
 Kalamazoo College's Brandon Luczak was announced as the 2010 recipient of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association's Al Deal Scholar-Athlete Award on June 10, 2010.
The award recognizes senior class athletes who have excelled in academics and athletics, as well as displayed outstanding leadership qualities. The award honors former MIAA commissioner Albert Deal (1971-91). Luczak is the first Kalamazoo College student-athlete to earn the award in its seven year history.
 A resident of Rochester Hills and graduate of Rochester High School, Luczak was an outstanding football and baseball player during his four years at Kalamazoo, earning All-MIAA honors three times. In football, he broke every school single-game and seasonal passing record during his senior year, and led all of NCAA Division III in total offense with 381.8 yards per game and passing offense with 366.3 yards per game. He was second in the nation in completions per game (32.2) and fourth in total passing yardage with 3,663 yards. A converted tight end, Luczak set MIAA single game records for attempts (79) and completions (56) in a game against Hope, and twice threw six touchdown passes in a game. He was a second-team All-MIAA selection. He finished his career as Kalamazoo’s career leader in completions with 613 and attempts with 1,058, second in career touchdown passes with 58, and third in career passing yardage (6,884) and total offense (7,176). He finished the 2009 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, then played in the D3 Football Senior Classic in December before having surgery.
 In baseball, Luczak posted a 5-3 record with six complete games in conference play as a freshman, earning Second Team All-MIAA honors. As a sophomore, he batted .324 at the plate while pitching four complete games and earning two saves on the mound, repeating as a Second Team All-MIAA pick. This past spring, he returned from his ACL surgery to contribute to the Hornets on the mound. He also played first base, shortstop and designated hitter on the diamond for Kalamazoo, posting a .276 career batting average.
A chemistry major at Kalamazoo, Luczak will graduate this month Phi Beta Kappa with a 3.879 grade point average, earning MIAA Academic Honor Roll honors all four years. In December, he was named the first team quarterback on the College Division Academic All-America team by the College Sports Information Directors of America and ESPN The Magazine.
Luczak volunteered for numerous programs, both on and off campus, during his collegiate career. For three years, he was a mentor for the Kalamazoo Big Brothers program. He also was an assistant coach in a youth baseball program in Kalamazoo, was president of the college’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, volunteered for the college admissions office, served as a representative on its Student Health Advisory Board and was a class agent for the college’s annual fund drive. He also worked for the college’s athletic training and athletic facilities departments and was a supplemental instructional leader in the chemistry department.
Brandon Luczak is the son of Stephen and Cynthia Luczak.
Other Deal nominees were Alex Cowart of Adrian, Jacob Lee of Albion, Greg Snapper of Calvin, Phillip Heyboer of Hope and Nick Garstka of Trine.
