Despite holding several records as a quarterback with the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo never won a super bowl.
He is an analyst and former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League for 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Romo was born on April 21, 1980, in San Diego, California, the United States to Ramiro Romo Jr. and Joan Jakubowski.
Romo attended Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, where he played for the NCAA Division I-AA Eastern Illinois Panthers football team and was a member of Sigma Pi.
During homecoming weekend on October 17, 2009, Eastern Illinois University retired Romo’s No. 17 jersey and inducted him into EIU’s Hall of Fame.
Romo is the first Eastern Illinois player to have his number retired. He said about the event, “It was such an honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame here, and with the jersey ceremony, it holds a special place in your heart.”
On December 7, 2021, Romo was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2021 class.
