Chad Ochocinco has already traded his cleats for dancing shoes. Now the Cincinnati Bengal is adding another reality TV star to his resume.

Variety reports the wide receiver will be the frontman for a dating reality show on VH1 titled “The Tournament.”

The reality show will have Ochocinco traveling the country in search of the perfect girl. He will meet 85 women, who will be eliminated via a March Madness bracket, according to Variety. At the end, he will have narrowed his choice to two women who will compete for his affection on a “championship” date.

Ochocinco will first appear on TV starting March 22 on “Dancing With the Stars,” where he’ll compete for the disco-ball trophy.

Variety reports his face will return to TV in July when VHI starts airing 10 episodes of the hour-long “The Tournament.”
