Tallman is the only person in West Virginia history to be player, assistant coach, and head coach at both Marshall University and West Virginia University. He received the nickname "Trusty" at Marshall when he was the only player to show up for practice during a downpour. "Trusty's" coach chided the other team members, and stated "Tallman is the only trust worthy of you boys". He was named an All-American football player after the undefeated 1922 West Virginia University season and has been recognized as one of the all-time great West Virginia University players. Additionally, he was captain of the WVU baseball team. He had an option to play professional baseball, but chose professional football. He resigned after the 1936 West Virginia football season to become the Superintendent of the West Virginia State Police. As Superintendent, he began the planning for the future West Virginia State Police Academy. Tallman was also a member of the West Virginia Legislature, representing Mason County, West Virginia. As a "favorite son" in West Virginia, "Trusty" was asked to consider running for public office but chose a career with DuPont. Tallman was head of security where the plutonium for the Nagasaki atomic bomb was produced. He lived in Augusta, Georgia, where he died on November 16, 1973.
