Images API - NCAA Headshot Enhancements

Sportradar has added College Pressbox as a new third-party provider to enhance our Images API with NCAA Football, Men's Basketball, and Women's Basketball media day style headshots.

This includes 25,000+ images spanning across FBS, FCS, and Division I Basketball programs.

What You Need to Know:

All NCAA headshot content will be premium transparent (PNG) media day style headshots
Each headshot is automatically mapped to Sportradar IDs for both teams and players in the API
There will be 5 initial image sizes at 72 DPI: 1920x1080, 250w-resize, 1080x1440-crop, 450x450-crop, and 410x410-crop
Reach out to your sales representative or our Support team for access. Use college_pressbox in the Player Manifest to retrieve the images.
