Crunch Time: Crafting a Highlight Tape for 7A LB Prospects
📍 Grayson Rams·Friday, July 24, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As a top linebacker prospect at a 7A program like Grayson Rams, your highlight tape is your ticket to the college spotlight. To make it count, focus on showcasing your skills in 3-4 key areas: tackling, coverage, speed, and instincts. For tackling, aim for at least 5 clean, decisive hits per minute of footage. Include 2-3 plays where you're in space, using your speed to chase down ballcarriers. For coverage, highlight 2-3 plays where you're in man-to-man or zone coverage, using your instincts to read the quarterback. Use a mix of game footage and summer camp highlights to keep it fresh. Finally, keep your tape concise: 3-5 minutes max. Use a clear, easy-to-read format with timestamps and play-by-play commentary.
