LOOK: Tavita Pritchard throughout the years at Stanford

The former Stanford quarterback is expected to move on after being a part of Stanford's program since 2006

All good things must come to an end eventually, which is actually what happened with the Tavita Pritchard experience at Stanford.

The former Stanford quarterback, grad assistant, and offensive coordinator is now off to greener pastures, as it was reported over the weekend and confirmed on Monday that he plans to take a job with the Washington Commanders. Pritchard has been through a lot with Stanford, he was the starter before Andrew Luck, and he is also credited with being one of the most important coaches on staff throughout the program's amazing success this past decade. 

A 3-star prospect out of Lakewood, Wash., his first start came against No. 1 USC in 2007, which ended up being a 24-23 upset that set the record for the largest point-spread upset in college football history at the time. It also helped put Stanford on the map as a program. Following being benched in favor of Luck in 2009, Pritchard went undrafted, and later unsigned by the 49ers following a stint with them during rookie training camp. He returned to Stanford for the 2010 season as a volunteer, and eventually made his way through the ranks.

Let's take a look at some of the best pictures of Pritchard from his time on the farm.
