Former NFL standout Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson has been named ambassador and consultant for the Florida A&M University athletics department, the school announced Wednesday.

In this role, Johnson will participate in special projects to support and advance the state of FAMU Athletics, as identified by the athletics director.

“Anyone familiar with Chad knows that he has always been a great ambassador for FAMU,” said athletic director Tiffani-Dawn Sykes. “It’s time to make it official. I am happy that we could reach an agreement to formalize his role with the University.”

“I fell in love with FAMU after attending my first Classic in 1984 with my grandma, and the rest is history,” Johnson said in a statement.
