Each year, the National Football League offers exclusive access to big-league performance data through NFL Big Data Bowl, a high-stakes competition that challenges participants to crunch the numbers and help find innovative solutions to make the game better for fans and players.
Among those rising to the challenge for the 2025 competition was a team from IU Indianapolis: Anurag Reddeddy (above right) and Elliott Scott (above left), both students in IU’s Applied Data Science master’s program at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indianapolis with a specialization in sports analytics, and Jorian Mangum, an undergraduate design student at the IU Herron School of Art and Design.
IU is one of the only universities in the country to offer a data science master’s degree with a specialization in sports analytics. The Department of Human-Centered Computing program gives students a competitive advantage because they are trained not just in data analytics but also leading-edge topics such as machine learning, cloud computing and database construction. They can also access resume-building opportunities like the NFL Big Data Bowl challenge.
