4 Moves Sophomores Need to Make to Get Offers

[@trevorfromcanada5790]

My dream school is Florida. I'll be playing Safety my first season next year for my junior college in May/June. I'm on that no stars, no offers type grind coach. When I first started playing football at 20 I was 5'10 145 pounds, my coaches wanted me at QB because they said I was too small and I was too slow to play DB. Now i'm 21 and I'm 6'0 217 pounds. After a year and 2 months of being on a strict diet and training schedule, I finally earned the trust of my coaches to let me play Safety. I'm going to soak up as much knowledge as I can and BALL OUT!! It doesn't matter if it's D1, D2, D3, Juco... I just want to play ball coach. I'm not the biggest or the most skilled football player yet, but I work the hardest. And I think that's the equalizer.. the guys with lesser ability have to work harder. I'm proud of my progress but I'm nowhere close to being satisfied, I won't quit until I get to where I want to be. Thank you for these videos coach. God bless and take care.

quick question, i started the first 2 games for my varsity team this season and in the 2nd game i tore my acl and i just got surgery. the film i got was about a minute and 30 seconds long. do u think this would be long enough as a szn highlight video and could i gain interest from a 2 game highlight video? p.s. i am a sophomore so i’m not really stressing that much but i am just curious

[@GridironStuds]

1:30 minutes is enough if you have some great plays on it. Otherwise, stop stressing. Focus on your rehab and building yourself into a better version of you when you return. In addition, while you are off of your feet, spend a lot of time learning about the game. Learn both sides of the ball, understand the game. Come back both stronger and smarter. You will benefit greatly from this.
