Crafting a Highlight Tape that Wows College Coaches
For Class of 2027 cornerbacks at top 7A programs like Miami Central, a well-crafted highlight tape is crucial for standing out in the recruiting process. College coaches want to see a concise, 3-4 minute video showcasing your best plays from the previous season. Start by selecting 10-15 clips that demonstrate your skills, such as a 40-yard interception return or a tackle for loss. Use a consistent format, with each clip lasting 10-15 seconds. Include a mix of game footage and drills to demonstrate your technique. For example, consider including a clip of you covering a receiver's 3-step release, followed by a clip of you making a tackle on a ball carrier. Use a clear, concise title and include your name, position, and high school on the video. Finally, upload your highlight tape to platforms like Hudl or YouTube and share the link with college coaches.
