New Year’s Eve throwback: Future NFL officials working college bowl games
As we get ready to go (college football) bowling, here are current and former NFL officials who worked college bowl games.
Our bowl season is rationed this year due to covid-19, instead of the usual glut.
But, over the years, we have found footage of future NFL officials working college bowl games, prior to working in the pros.
To gear you up for a great college and pro football holiday weekend, here are some college football officials who would later go on to become NFL officials.
Mike Pereira working the 1996 Cotton Bowl, his last college game before becoming a NFL official. In my opinion, if Pereira had stayed on the field, he would have been a NFL white hat.

Terry McAulay works the 1998 Orange Bowl. Next fall he would be in the NFL.
