Kevin Falaki joined the Harvard Football program as an assistant coach in January 2025, and coaches the running backs.
Having spent nearly his entire career in New England, Falaki arrived with the Crimson fresh off an assistant coach stint at Holy Cross, where he tutored the running backs. In his one season in Worcester, he helped the 2024 Crusaders claim a share of their sixth consecutive Patriot League title after they went 5-1 against conference foes. Falaki also played a key role in Jayden Clerveaux earning first-team All-Patriot League accolades after a 2024 season that saw him rush for 942 yards and 11 touchdowns. Clerveaux hit his stride in Patriot League action, as he averaged 106 yards on the ground.
Prior to arriving in central Massachusetts, Falaki served as an offensive graduate assistant at Connecticut for two seasons, where he worked primarily with the offensive line and tight ends. In 2023, the UConn O-line allowed just one sack per contest, ranking ninth among all FBS teams. He also helped coach the Huskies to an appearance in the 2022 Myrtle Beach Bowl, which marked the program’s first bowl game appearance since 2015.
Before his stint in Storrs, Falaki was a tight ends coach at Georgetown during the 2021 season. Under his tutelage, Zach Jewell earned All-Patriot League second-team honors, with Sergio Portobanco finishing second among Patriot League tight ends in receptions and receiving yards.
Falaki joined the Hoyas after one year on the coaching staff at Maine, where he served as an offensive quality control coach and assisted with the offensive line. He helped guide a Black Bears offense that averaged 22.5 points and 332.2 yards during the Spring 2021 season, while ranking second in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in passing yards (205.8). Maine’s offensive line also ranked third in the CAA, allowing just six sacks on the season.
Preceding his time on the Maine coaching staff, Falaki 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 2017 all-conference honors. During his time in Orono, Falaki helped Maine win two Northeast-10 Conference titles and earn three NCAA Tournament berths.
Falaki graduated from Assumption in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and earned his master’s of business administration from Maine in 2021.
