Eight Sports Under One Recruiting Platform
Scorability is moving beyond college football. The Austin-based company is adding men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, baseball, and softball to its recruiting platform, bringing its total to eight sports.
The company spent three years building its football network, reaching more than 225,000 athletes and establishing itself as a recruiting tool for football programs nationwide. As that footprint grew across divisions, coaches and athletic directors in other sports pressed the company to bring the same approach to their programs.
The Ryzer Acquisition Built the Athlete Base
The expansion did not start from zero. Scorability’s 2025 acquisition of Ryzer, a camp events and registration platform that powers more than 27,000 camps each year, gave the company a head start.
Nearly 500,000 athletes across the seven new sports already exist within the platform through camp participation. During those camps, Scorability collects verified measurables, video, and recruiting-related data. That existing pool means coaches in the new sports gain access to a populated database rather than an empty one.
“The success we’ve had in football, and how quickly that word spread, has led to incredible demand among college coaches in these other sports,” said Brian Cruver, Co-Founder and CEO of Scorability.
What Coaches Get Beyond Scale
Scorability positions itself against legacy recruiting services on two fronts: scale and depth. Through Ryzer, the company serves more than 1.2 million athletes and over 4,500 college programs each year, spanning Power Four conferences down to junior colleges.
Beyond reach, the platform gives coaches athlete interviews, parent interviews, high school and club coach evaluations, verified academic and athletic data, video, and predictive mentality assessments. The stated goal is to help staffs evaluate recruits for long-term fit and likelihood of success, not talent alone.
“Most coaching staffs simply do not have the time or resources to truly know thousands of athletes during the recruiting process,” said Brett Andrew, Co-Founder and CRO of Scorability. The platform remains free for athletes and families across all eight sports.
Why Broad Access Matters for Recruiting
Recruiting attention usually concentrates on a small group of elite prospects, while most athletes work through the process with limited visibility. By extending its model across seven more sports, Scorability widens the pool of athletes who can be discovered, and gives programs at every division a structured way to assess large numbers of recruits at once.
A Camp Pipeline Doing Double Duty
Scorability’s expansion rests on a structural advantage that is hard to copy quickly: a camp registration business that feeds verified athlete data straight into a recruiting product. By turning routine camp sign-ups into recruiting profiles, the company builds reach in seven new sports without sourcing those athletes one at a time. Whether coaches in basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and softball adopt the tools at football’s pace will decide how much of that half-million-athlete head start converts into active recruiting use.
