Plymouth State University

Fallon anchored the Plymouth State defense from 2003 through 2006, leading the Panthers in tackles three of four years while helping the team to a four-win improvement. After hanging up his pads, he joined the coaching staff for a three-year run during which the team posted a 27-6 record, made an NCAA Tournament appearance, two ECAC Tournament appearances, and won the ECAC North Atlantic Bowl. The four-year starter played all 38 games of his career and didn't miss a single practice.
 
A New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd Division First Team All-Star selection and Don Hansen's Football Gazette Pre-Season and Post-Season All-America Honorable Mention as a senior, Fallon posted 53 tackles and six pass breakups as the Panthers finished 4-5 (4-3 NEFC) in the team's return to the league after back-to-back seasons as an independent.
 
The four wins were a vast improvement from Fallon's first season, PSU's final year in the Freedom Football Conference (FFC), when the team was winless in ten games. Fallon was still impactful, though, registering a team-best 72 tackles to earn FFC Rookie of the Year honors. He posted three games of at least ten tackles, including a season-best nine solo tackles in the season finale at WPI.
 
Fallon was the top tackler in each of PSU's two years as an independent as well, racking up back-to-back seasons of 77 tackles and 59 unassisted tackles to pace the team. Plymouth State improved to 1-8 in 2004, with Fallon notching career bests of 14 tackles and 13 solo stops at Springfield College. He was named the team's James Hamilton Award winner for his outstanding contribution to the defense.
 
Fallon repeated team-highs of 77 tackles and 59 solo tackles while helping the team jump to 4-6 during his junior season. He earned his first of back-to-back Fred Madore Awards, presented to the player who best epitomizes the hard-nosed tradition, gritty determination, and competitiveness of Plymouth State football. He again had a big game against Springfield, recording season-highs of 12 tackles and 11 solo stops.
 
Fallon's 53 tackles during his senior campaign were the second most on the team as the Panthers posted a 4-5 record in its return to the NEFC. He added a career best six pass breakups and seven tackles for loss to claim the department's John C. Foley Senior Leadership Award for exhibiting outstanding leadership qualities, as well as his second consecutive Fred Madore Award.
 
Fallon finished with career totals of 246 tackles (213 solo), 16 tackles for a loss, 22 passes defended, five interceptions, two forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries (including one for a touchdown) and three blocked kicks.
 
His return to the Panthers as an assistant coach coincided with the team's return to excellence. Fallon mentored the wide receiver corps in 2007 as the team jumped to 9-1 (6-1 NEFC) to finish second in the league before earning a 24-21 win over Bridgewater State to claim the ECAC North Atlantic Bowl.
 
The Manchester, N.H. native transitioned to linebackers coach for the following two seasons, helping the Panthers match a program record for wins during a 10-2 season in 2008 which included a perfect run through the NEFC and a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in program history. In his final year on the sidelines in 2009, the team posted an 8-3 mark (6-1 NEFC) and made another ECAC Northeast Bowl appearance.
