Troy Aikman
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman has been a star ever since arriving at UCLA during his junior year. During his two seasons at UCLA, he led the Bruins to a 20-4 record, including two bowl victories, and became the first quarterback in school history to lead UCLA to back-to-back 10-win seasons. As a senior he earned consensus All-American honors, placed third in balloting for the Heisman Trophy, and won the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the year Award.
Aikman was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the first overall selection in the 1989 NFL Draft. During his 12-year playing career, he set 45 Cowboys’ passing records, including the club’s career record for completions, passing yards, touchdowns and completion percentage. He also led the Cowboys to six NFC East titles and four NFC Championship Games. To this day, Aikman is one of only four quarterbacks to guide his team to victory in three Super Bowls. He was inducted into the UCLA Sports Hall of Fame in 1999, and was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Since announcing his retirement from the NFL in 2001, Aikman has served as FOX Sports’ lead analyst. He’s received three Emmy nominations for his broadcasting work and has broadcasted three Super Bowls. He’s also active with the Troy Aikman Foundation, which has touched many young lives through services such as creating colorful recreation areas in children's hospitals; “Aikman’s End Zones” include state-of-the-art home theaters and computers networked to other children’s hospitals.
