One of only three female NFL officials, DeLorenzo outlined her road to success
Nutley native and NFL Line Judge Robin DeLorenzo at the Nutley Museum on June 19, 2024. The Nutley High School graduate recalled her life lessons learned through sports from coaches and teachers through her years in the Nutley school system.
Robin DeLorenzo's father, Coach Rich DeLorenzo (center), supported her love of football and invited her to enroll in his class for referees. After passing the officiating test in his class, she joined her father’s crew on the gridiron and spent 11 years officiating at the high school level before advancing through the ranks in college football.
Notably, she officiated high-profile games such as the 2021 Ohio State vs. Michigan matchup and the Fiesta Bowl featuring Oklahoma State and Notre Dame. The next step was as a Line Judge in the National Football League.
