Takeaways
Social media, especially Twitter, is the first point of contact for college coaches, so athletes should have a clean and professional profile with their name and relevant information.
A standout highlight tape should be 2-3 minutes long, with the best plays showcased in the first 30 seconds.
Instead of tagging head coaches or position coaches, athletes should tag graduate assistants in their social media posts to get on the radar of college programs.
Researching a college's recruiting department and tagging the appropriate personnel can help athletes get noticed and potentially move up the recruiting funnel.
