One of Fallon’s own has made it to the big leagues – the National Football League, that is. This year, former Fallon High School Greenwave, Harvey Dahl, debuted as the Atlanta Falcons’ starting right guard.
After high school, Harvey played for the University of Nevada, Reno, where he majored in history. Then, in 2005, the Dallas Cowboys, then the San Francisco 49ers signed him but rarely played him. For the 2006 season, the 49ers allocated Harvey to the Rhein Fire, a professional American football team in NFL Europa. Following 2007 training camp, San Francisco again signed Harvey to its practice squad.
The Atlanta Falcons snatched up and signed Harvey to its active roster in October 2007. He’s played routinely in the 2008 NFL season. When not playing pro ball, Harvey’s at home in Fallon.
