How to Build a Highlight Tape That Gets You Recruited (College Coach Secrets)

What makes a highlight tape actually get a college coach’s attention—and why do most players get it wrong? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nick Garrett, Head Football Coach at Andrew College, who has helped 38 players earn scholarships in just two years, to break down exactly what coaches look for when evaluating film. Coach Garrett explains why most highlight tapes are too long, why coaches often decide within the first few clips, and how poor body language, weak communication, and bad recruiting habits cause players to get passed on. We also dive into when JUCO is the right move, how parents should think about the recruiting process, and why many athletes wait too long to start marketing themselves. Whether your son is trying to earn his first offer or deciding if JUCO is the best next step, this episode gives you a clear roadmap for getting recruited the right way.Want Some 1:1 Help With Getting Your Son a College Football Scholarship?
