Ron Torbert is an official in the National Football League since the 2010 NFL season. His uniform number is 62.
A graduate of Michigan State University,[1] Torbert began his NFL officiating career in 2010 as a side judge, then became a referee for the 2014 NFL season after Scott Green and Ron Winter announced their retirements. Torbert is only the fifth African-American referee in NFL history, after Johnny Grier, Mike Carey, Jerome Boger and Don Carey.
Torbert's officiating crew for the 2014 season consists of umpire Carl Paganelli, head linesman Jim Howey, line judge Mark Steinkirchner, field judge Barry Anderson, side judge Scott Edwards, and back judge Greg Yette.[2]
Outside of his NFL officiating duties, Torbert is an attorney, like fellow referees Clete Blakeman and Ed Hochuli.
