In a transfer portal that moves faster every year, Menlo College has found its edge in AI. What started as an experiment with Women's Basketball has become a department-wide advantage: every NCAA program on campus now uses Transfer Athletes' AI to identify the right portal prospects sooner, all with the same staff.

Days of research, done in minutes

Built specifically for college athletics, Transfer Athletes uses AI to turn what used to take days of manual research into minutes. Staffs filter the entire transfer portal by position, state, and any stat that matters to them, then use AI to pull a full scouting report on any prospect, complete with film. In a portal era where the fastest, best-informed staff wins, that speed is a decisive competitive advantage: Menlo's coaches get to the right athletes before competitors even build their lists.

One team's edge becomes every team's

The impact didn't stay contained to one program. After seeing how much time Women's Basketball saved and how much of an edge they gained in the portal, Menlo's administration moved quickly to give every team the same advantage, extending Transfer Athletes across the entire athletic department.

As the transfer portal continues to reshape college athletics, departments are being asked to do more with the same staff. With Transfer Athletes' AI now supporting every NCAA program on campus, Menlo College has turned that pressure into an edge, getting to the right athletes faster than programs still doing it by hand.
