Crafting a Winning Highlight Tape for College Coaches

When creating a highlight tape for college coaches, S prospects at 4A programs like Dowling Catholic Maroons should focus on showcasing their skills in a concise, 3-5 minute video. Start with a 30-second intro that includes your name, position, and contact information. Next, divide your highlights into categories such as pass coverage, run support, and tackling. Use a mix of game footage and practice clips to demonstrate your versatility. For example, include a 10-second clip of a pick-six, followed by a 5-second clip of a tackle for loss. Use a consistent format throughout and include a closing shot with your name, number, and school. Finally, upload your video to platforms like Hudl or YouTube and share the link with college coaches.
