Member of the FSU Hall of Fame
Elected into the FSU Hall of Fame in 1994
Ron Schomburger seemed destined to succeed from his earliest days at Florida State. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native was a standout player for a fledging FSU football program that would evolve into one of the nation's finest.

A three sport high school star and Army veteran, Schomburger came to FSU in 1954. His aggressive style and indomitable will were immediately evident. Tom Nugent, the Seminole head coach at the time, described him, as a "tough, complete package." A starter both offensively and defensively, Ron was named to the all-state as well as several All-American teams after his senior season.

Schomburger was equally exceptional as a student earning membership on the Collegiate All-American Academic Team, the FSU men's leadership honor society and Gold Key.

Ron was drafted by the Washington Redskins but elected to go into the paper business later known as UNIJAX. After 33 years of service, Ron and his wife Annella enjoy Seminole action with their three children and two grandchildren.
