Jackson State becomes first HBCU to use AI in recruiting

Jackson State, who hired Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders as its 21st head coach last week, will be the first HBCU football program to harness the power of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and advanced performance data to identify and objectively evaluate prospects to recruit, via RA's patent-pending platform. JSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson is excited to bring data analytics to the Tigers' football program. "We are taking a data-driven approach to our recruiting efforts to help increase our hit rate, while becoming more efficient with the help of Recruiting Analytics," said Robinson.
