What we actually cover.

Our directory lists athletes from 68 universities — every Power 4 program plus Notre Dame — with the X, Instagram, and TikTok accounts their schools publish on their own roster pages. Searching it is free and instant. Live follower numbers come from X’s API: loaded in advance for football and basketball, and on demand for everyone else.

Real season stats, pulled live per athlete — not a static list we maintain by hand. Deliberately weighted toward the leagues our pricing actually fits: developmental and collegiate tiers, not superstar contracts generic tools already cover.

MMA can't be scoped further than "MMA" — the promotion a fighter competes in (PFL, DWCS, LFA, or UFC) isn't exposed by our data source, so a UFC headliner resolves exactly like a regional prospect would. TBL is leaders-only — a player only shows up here if they rank top-10 league-wide in at least one stat, since no full-roster source exists for that league. Bonus: NCAA football and basketball athletes who rank nationally in a tracked stat get a callout badge on their Report, sourced separately from the NCAA's own leaderboards.

Two boards. Browse athletes lets you filter the athletes in our roster directory by sport, school, position, class and home state, narrow them by audience size, and sort by audience, peer rank or athletes with more public X lists than their audience suggests (football and men's and women's basketball today); it opens once our roster directory finishes a clean-up pass that removes coaches and staff. YouTube channels searches for fast-growing sports content across 10 sports, then filters out official league and media channels (over 1M subscribers) so what's left is individual creators — the scale of athlete a $2.5–5.1k deal is actually for.

The league name in parentheses is just the search seed — a channel actually surfacing in Discovery is filtered to be well below that league's own scale, on purpose.

Every headline below is checked against your watchlisted athletes' names, word-for-word. Deliberately broad — if someone you're tracking gets drafted into a pro league, that's exactly when this needs to keep working, not stop.

The 34 university feeds cover football, men's/women's basketball, baseball, and men's/women's tennis at each school directly — the same sites a program's own athletic department publishes to, not a third-party aggregator. SB Nation and FanSided add independent fan-community coverage for individual programs — a different editorial team from the athletic department itself, so a story one source misses, another may still catch.

We looked, live, before writing any of this off. These genuinely don't have a usable public data source today — not a priority call, a real dead end.

• Instagram follower counts — Meta only exposes them for public Business and Creator accounts, and our access is still pending Meta’s app review. Personal accounts have no public data path at all, so those will always be a link.
• TikTok follower counts — TikTok doesn’t offer public data access; we link the profiles schools publish (about 5% of athletes) and nothing more.
• Most remaining independent and regional minor leagues (SPHL, IFL, AF1, USL W League, WPSL) — either no public stats at all, or the data exists but sits behind a gate we can't clear without a paid partner key.
• ATP Challenger Tour and ITF World Tennis Tour rankings — both sit behind bot-protection that blocks any non-browser request outright, ours included; genuinely architectural, not a URL we haven't found yet.
• NCAA gymnastics — the data exists and is real, but only renders via JavaScript on each school's own site, with no cross-school directory the way UTR solved this for tennis; nothing we can fetch directly today.
• Extreme-sports events outside the NCAA (X Games, Street League Skateboarding) — no season-stat concept that maps to what a sponsor would look at, or no public source at all.
