Abstract
This project integrates advanced sports science data and analytics to evaluate key performance metrics of NCAA football players and their correlation with NFL success. Specifically, by utilizing athlete monitoring systems, force-plate data, GPS tracking, NFL Combine/Pro Day results, PFF data, injury history, and in-season performance, I aim to identify physiological and statistical trends predictive of elite performance. Additionally, by exploring predictive modeling and machine learning, this work bridges sport science with data analytics, demonstrating expertise in performance monitoring, statistical analysis, and sport technology to inform evidence-based decision-making in player evaluation.
