Former NFL officiating head Dean Blandino is taking on a role at the college level.

College Football Officiating announced on Monday that Blandino has accepted a job as their director of instant replay. The job will focus on offseason development and education while Blandino remains in his role as a rules analyst for NFL and NCAA games for FOX Sports.

“I’m extremely excited to join the CFO and NCAA in this role,” Blandino said in a statement. “I’ve spent much of my career in the replay space and look forward to continuing to improve our processes and programming with the ultimate goal of efficient — and correct — outcomes.”
