UpNexts mission is to revolutionize the college athletics transfer process by empowering athletes and coaches with a streamlined, efficient, and accessible platform. We aim to increase visibility and opportunities for athletes, enhance communication and transparency in recruitment, and build a more effective transfer ecosystem that connects the right players with the right programs. Through innovative technology and a commitment to user-focused solutions, we strive to make the transfer process smoother, more transparent, and beneficial for both sides of college athletics. Central to this mission is our commitment to be transparent about the data we collect about you, how it is used and with whom it is shared.
