Datavault AI Launches First-of-Its-Kind Bowl Combine for Dream Bowl XV

PHILADELPHIA, September 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Datavault AI and Cutting-Edge Sports Management have announced the 15th anniversary edition of The Dream Bowl, set to take place on Sunday, January 17, 2027, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This year’s event introduces a first-of-its-kind Bowl Combine, which will award two roster spots and playing time to eligible student-athletes.

The Dream Bowl has been a premier college football all-star showcase for professional draft-eligible talent from all college divisions and NAIA programs since 2013. This year, the event will continue to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and provide a professional-caliber send-off for overlooked collegiate athletes, giving them the opportunity to be seen by professional scouts.

For Dream Bowl XV, Cutting-Edge Sports Management and Datavault AI have partnered to introduce a Bowl Combine. This event is designed to evaluate student-athletes based on their performance rather than their pedigree. Datavault AI will run the combine using its Event Citadel event registration services, VerifyU credentialing, and API Media event technologies, with ADIO technology enabled throughout the venue. The goal is to provide a verifiable record of each athlete's combine results, leveraging technologies like DataScore, DataValue, the Information Data Exchange (IDE), and the NIL Vault (NILv) platform.

The Dream Bowl XV is scheduled as a four-day college football all-star weekend, including practices, the Bowl Combine, professional scouting sessions, and the game at AT&T Stadium on January 17, 2027. Datavault AI expects to deploy its tokenization, VerifyU credentialing, and Information Data Exchange (IDE) technologies across the weekend, with the aim of authenticating, recording, and managing athlete credentials and combine results on a single platform.

The Company's platform serves multiple industries, including high-performance computing software licensing for sports and entertainment, events and venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy, and more. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and the licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity.

Dream Bowl XV is expected to be broadcast nationally on ESPN, continuing the tradition of showcasing talented student-athletes to professional scouts. The event is part of Datavault AI's strategy to commercialize its platforms in sports and live events, with plans to develop additional fan-engagement, digital asset, tokenization, or memorabilia programs in the future.
