Crafting a Winning Highlight Tape for LB Prospects: Tips from College Coaches

As a top linebacker prospect at a AAAA program like Morgantown Mohigans, your highlight tape is often the first impression you make on college coaches. To stand out, focus on showcasing your versatility and tackling ability. Include a mix of 3-5 plays that demonstrate your skills in different areas, such as pass coverage, gap discipline, and pursuit. Use a consistent format, with each play lasting around 10-15 seconds. For example, consider including a 10-play sequence where you record 5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks in a single game. This will give coaches a clear picture of your production and potential. Additionally, use clear, concise editing and include your name, position, and school in the opening and closing shots.
