Years played at USC: 2013-2017
Career highlights: After redshirting as a true freshman in 2013, Falah spent the next two seasons as a backup offensive tackle, also seeing some action on special teams. As a redshirt junior in 2016, he earned the role of USC’s starting center. Falah spent the next two seasons snapping the ball to star quarterback Sam Darnold, helping the Trojans win a Rose Bowl and Pac-12 championship.
After USC: Falah signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 NFL Draft.
