Luke Falk
Falk earned the 2017 Burlsworth Trophy, an award given to the most outstanding Div. I college football player who began his career as a walk-on. After a redshirt year in 2013, he served as a backup to Connor Halliday for the majority of his freshman season before Halliday went down with a broken leg. Falk assumed the starting job, threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns in his first start, and retained the role for the following three seasons.
Over the course of his college career, the Utah native threw 119 touchdowns and 39 interceptions. He holds Pac-12 football records for career passing attempts, completions, completion percentage, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.
Falk’s college coach, Mike Leach, told Boston Sports Journal‘s Christopher Price he sees similarities between the Washington State senior and Brady: an underdog mentality, a rigid healthy meal plan, and an impeccable work ethic.
