NORFOLK (WAVY) — What a ride it’s been for former Old Dominion long-snapper Rick Lovato. After bouncing around the NFL, Lovato has found a home in Philadelphia with the Eagles. Lovato started every game for Philadelphia and he became the first former ODU football player to win the Super Bowl when the Eagles upset the New England Patriots last month.
On Thursday night during the Monarchs basketball game against FAU, Old Dominion honored its Lombardi trophy winner and it was like a rock star was in town as hundreds of fans lined up to get Lovato’s autograph and a picture.
