Head Coach

Bio

Coach Abraham enters his third season as the Head Coach of Fitchburg State University, with expertise in the Special Teams and Running backs areas.

Coach Abraham boosts a career record of 5 wins and 15 losses as the Head Coach of the flock. He took over the program in 2024, looking to rebuild a team that accumulated just a 1-29 overall record since 2020, and has not seen more than 3 wins in a season since 2016. 

He has coached 4 players to MASCAC All-Conference Selections in his first two seasons, and coached MASCAC Defensive Player of the Year Cameron Monette in 2024. 

In 2025, the Falcons won 3 games, and lost 3 games by 1 possession or less, setting up the flock for a potential breakout year in 2026.  Last season, the Falcons fielded one of the nation's premier defenses, leading all of NCAA Division III in passing defense by allowing just 105.7 passing yards per game. Fitchburg State also ranked second in the MASCAC in scoring defense (18.2 points per game) and total defense (255.4 yards per game). The Falcons led the conference with 22 takeaways and 15 interceptions while tying for the conference lead with three defensive touchdowns.
