Crafting a Highlight Tape that Catches College Coaches' Eyes
📍 Bellevue West Thunderbirds·Thursday, July 23, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As a top CB prospect at a powerhouse program like Bellevue West, your highlight tape is often the first impression you make on college coaches. To stand out in a crowded recruiting landscape, focus on showcasing your skills in a clear, concise manner. Structure your tape with a mix of game footage and skill drills, highlighting your best plays and most impressive traits. Use timestamps to make it easy for coaches to find specific plays. For example, if you have a 4.4 40-yard dash time, include a 10-second clip of your dash, with the timestamp '0:00-0:10' to make it easy for coaches to find. Keep your tape to 3-5 minutes, and make sure your name, position, and contact info are prominently displayed.
