Title:
Volunteer Assistant Coach/Offense

Tom Flacco joined the Delaware coaching staff in August 2022. He will serve as a volunteer assistant coach and will work the team's offense.

Flacco is beginning his first collegiate coaching position after a decorated playing career. He began his career at Western Michigan where he saw action in 13 games during the 2015-16 seasons. He completed 10-of-13 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 266 yards and two scores. Flacco transferred to Rutgers prior to the 2017 season and sat out the year due to NCAA transfer rules before then transferring to Towson with two years of eligibility remaining.

In his first season at Towson in 2018, Flacco was among the nation’s leaders in several offensive categories, including total offense (3rd), passing yards (5th), passing yards per game (12th), passing touchdowns (6th), completions per game (10th), completion percentage (22nd) and passing efficiency (26th). He was named the CAA Offensive Player of the Year as well as the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year while earning an All-America Third Team (HERO Sports) nod and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.

As a senior in 2019, Flacco earned All-CAA Second Team honors and was the first Towson player to be a two-time Walter Payton Award Finalist. He concluded his Towson career ranked in the top-6 in program history in passing touchdowns (3rd, 50), passing yards (6th, 6,086) and passing completions (6th, 484).

Following his time at Towson, Flacco spent all of 2021 on the rosters of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League.

A multi-sport athlete, Flacco was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2014 MLB Draft out of high school. He was a member of the Towson baseball team as a senior in 2019, serving as the team’s primary right fielder. He batted .221 with a home run, four doubles and eight RBI while scoring 20 runs and stealing 11 bases.

Flacco, the younger brother of Delaware Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Flacco, received a Bachelor or Arts degree in labor studies from Rutgers in the summer of 2017 and is currently working toward a master’s degree in applied information technology from Towson.
