IMG Academy acquires sports recruiting company

IMG Academy, the sports education brand with a school in Bradenton, has acquired SportsRecruits. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

SportsRecruits focuses on using technology to help student-athletes get recruited to compete at the collegiate level. The company operates an online network that it says is used by 400,000 athletes and 2,000 club and high school organizations daily. Its platform enables students to create profiles for themselves, including videos. They can also create target lists showcasing which schools they are interested in pursuing. In addition, the platform allows colleges to report what their roster needs are and search for candidates.

“Partnering with IMG Academy amplifies our ability to deliver top-notch resources and opportunities to student-athletes everywhere,” SportsRecruits co-founder and CEO Chris Meade says in a statement.
