Concannon attended Matignon High School, where he practiced football, baseball, and basketball.
He accepted a football scholarship from Boston College. He also was a pitcher for the baseball team. He played halfback and quarterback. In the last game of the football season as a freshman, he sustained a potential career-ending back injury, which required surgery (bone fusion) and to be placed in a half body cast for six weeks.
As a sophomore, he wasn't allowed any contact in practice until the month of November. He was a third-string quarterback and tallied 10-of-23 completions (43.5%) for 162 yards, 3 interceptions, 14 carries for 29 yards and one touchdown. He also played basketball after the football season was over.
As a junior, he was named the starter at quarterback. He recorded 97-of-181 completions (53.6%), 1,450 yards, 15 passing touchdowns, 6 interceptions, 91 carries for 293 yards and 5 rushing touchdowns. He finished fifth in the nation in total offense and tied Terry Baker for the nation's lead in touchdown passes with 15.
As a senior, he posted 85-of-192 completions (44.3%) for 1,328 yards, 8 touchdown passes, 9 interceptions, 94 carries for 281 yards and 6 rushing touchdowns. He became the first school athlete to receive the Thomas F. Scanlan Award (outstanding senior scholar-athlete), the Harry Agganis Award (outstanding senior player in New England) and the O'Melia Award (outstanding player of the annual BC-Holy Cross game). He was named the Most Valuable Player in the North-South Shrine Game.
Concannon finished his college career with 192-of-396 completions for 2,940 yards, 23 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Demonstrating his versatility, he also gained 603 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.
