Lucas Andrew Falk (born December 28, 1994) is an American former professional football quarterback. He played college football at Washington State, and was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft. He was also a member of the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Falk started the 2019 season as the third quarterback on the roster of the Jets and played in three games, due to an illness affecting starting quarterback Sam Darnold and an injury to Trevor Siemian sustained in week two of the regular season. Falk struggled with the Jets and was released mid-season following Darnold's return.

Early life

Falk was born in Logan, Utah and moved to California where he attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village.[1] He has two older sisters, Alexa Shea Falk Johns and Natalee Marie Falk, who formed a sibling country music duo Falk. Prior to his junior year, he moved back to Logan and attended Logan High School.[2] As a senior, he threw for 3,618 yards with 36 touchdowns and broke Utah records for pass attempts (562) and pass completions (330).[3]

College career

Falk originally committed to Cornell University but de-committed following the departure of head coach Kent Austin.[4] Falk then joined Washington State University as a walk-on.[5][6] After redshirting in 2013, Falk entered 2014 as the backup to Connor Halliday. After Halliday was injured, Falk took over as the starter for the final three games.[7][8] In his first career start he threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns and earned conference offensive player and national quarterback of the week honors.[9][10] Overall, he appeared in six games, completing 156 of 243 passes for 1,859 yards with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions.[11][12][13] He retained his starting job for the 2015 season and proceeded to lead the nation in passing yards per game (380.5), while finishing second in the nation in pass completion percentage (69.45), and earning first-team all-Pac-12 Conference honors, becoming the ninth Washington State quarterback in the 100-year of the conference to be named first-team.[14] He guided the 2015 Cougars to a 9–3 record that included a Sun Bowl win over Miami and dramatic, come-from-behind victories over UCLA, Oregon and Rutgers. Falk adheres to a strict diet to enhance performance,[15] and wears a signature wristband in every game to salute his favorite youth basketball coach who died unexpectedly.[16] As of week 12 of the 2017 season, Falk holds Pac-12 Football records for career passing attempts, completions, completion percentage, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.[17] On January 26, 2018, Falk announced that he would forgo the Senior Bowl to attend the funeral for Tyler Hilinski.[18]
