Stay Recruited, founded by 6-year NFL veteran Reggie Rusk, leverages the energy, discipline, and drive of sports to recruit youth into high-demand STEM pathways. In partnership with marine engineering leader Oceaneering, we are sponsoring student-athlete teams to build, program, and compete in the international MATE ROV Underwater Robotics Competition.
Through our premier Golfing FORE STEM fundraising initiative—featuring a VIP community kick-off and celebrity golf tournament—we unite pro athletes, corporate partners, and local leaders to remove financial barriers for underserved students. Your Benevity match directly provides robotics hardware, competition entry fees, and direct corporate mentorship from real-world engineers.
Project Details & Mission At Stay Recruited (a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit), we believe the same teamwork and relentless focus that creates champion athletes can build world-class engineers.
Through our partnership with Oceaneering, high school students transition from traditional sports into hands-on marine engineering. Participating in the MATE ROV competition requires students to design, construct, and operate underwater remotely operated vehicles to solve real-world oceanographic and marine industry challenges.
