College Football Officiating’s Rogers Redding wrote a condensed manifest in partnership with the National Football Foundation in what rule changes all on-field personnel and players will be subjected to this season.
A graduate of Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, Redding has officiated for over 30 years (a decade’s worth with the SEC) and was noticed for his on-field efforts in 2010, being awarded the NFF’s Most Outstanding Official Award.
