Data platform uses QR code to help recruits

Fayetteville inventor is marketing a new online data platform designed for student-athletes.

Wayne Woolsey is the co-founder of QR Recruiter. In the QR Recruiter configuration, scanning a code would take the recruiter or scout to a website where athletes have shared their academic and sports-specific statistics through their player profiles, whether it’s baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, football or volleyball.

Woolsey said QR Recruiter is the only detailed search currently on the market that is free for recruiters and scouts to use. He said the platform could appeal to athletes and teams both in high school or college sports and club or travel squads.
