Kevin Falaki joined the Holy Cross football staff as the team’s running backs coach in 2024.
In his first season with the Crusaders, Falaki helped Holy Cross earn a share of its sixth consecutive Patriot League Championship, with the team posting a 5-1 record in conference play.
Falaki previously served as an offensive graduate assistant at the University of Connecticut for two seasons, where he worked primarily with the offensive line and tight ends. In 2023, the UConn offensive line allowed just one sack per contest, ranking ninth among all Division I teams. He also helped coach the team to an appearance in the 2022 Myrtle Beach Bowl, the program’s first bowl game appearance since 2015.
Prior to his time with the Huskies, Falaki was a tight ends coach at Georgetown during the 2021 season. Under his tutelage, Zach Jewell earned All-Patriot League second team honors, and Sergio Portobanco finished second among Patriot League tight ends in receptions and receiving yards.
Falaki joined the Georgetown staff after one year on the coaching staff at the University of Maine, where he served as an offensive quality control coach and assisted with the offensive line. He helped guide the Black Bears’ offense that averaged 22.5 points per game and 332.2 yards per game in the Spring 2021 season, ranking second in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) with 205.8 passing yards per game. The offensive line ranked third in the CAA, allowing just six sacks on the season.
He suited up for the Black Bears in 2019 as a graduate transfer, appearing in all 12 games with six starts at tight end. Before Maine, Falaki was a three-year starter at Assumption College, where he earned a 2017 all-conference selection and was part of a squad that won two Northeast-10 Conference titles and made three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Falaki graduated from Assumption in 2019 with a degree in marketing. He earned his master’s of business administration from Maine in 2021.
