During Romeo's senior season, the powerful 6'7 forward averaged 14.9ppg and 5.9reb while shooting 37% from three and 52% from the floor. Romeo was named ALL-MAC First team in his junior and senior seasons and was selected to the conference ALL TOURNAMENT team in 2007. After completing his college career, Romeo played at the Portsmouth Invitational in April 2007 and in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League with the Cleveland Cavaliers summer team.

Ulm is excited to welcome Romeo Travis for the remainder of the season and hopes his addition will upgrade the teams depth, versatility and athleticism on the front line. After signing EJ Gallup as a stand-by American last season, the talented shooting guard emerged as an outstanding part of team success this season and even won the Bundesliga 3 point shooting crown at the All Star game. Bringing in Gallup to finish last season helped create a comfort zone which led to his success this year. ratiopharm Ulm hopes for similar success with Romeo Travis and reuniting him with close friend Dru Joyce is a fantastic place to start.
