Crafting a Winning Highlight Tape for College Coaches
Quarterbacks at 4A programs like Eagle River Wolves, take note: a well-crafted highlight tape is crucial in securing college attention. To stand out, focus on showcasing your ability to read defenses and make quick decisions. Include at least 10 plays that demonstrate your accuracy, arm strength, and ability to extend plays. For example, include a minimum of 3 plays where you complete a pass under pressure or with a defender in your face. Use a mix of game footage and summer camp clips to demonstrate your skills in different situations. Keep your tape concise, ideally under 5 minutes, and use clear, concise editing to make it easy for coaches to follow. Most importantly, make sure your highlight tape is easily accessible online, either through a personal website or a platform like Hudl.
