Maybe because YouTube has broken the HS football recruiting video out of the 1" X1" Â lo-res format resident on the recruiting services sites.
It\'s interesting to compare one\'s own reactions to watching the video to what you imagine the coaching staff saw. Â This isn\'t some end-to-end career highlight reel. Â He doesn\'t singlehandedly destroy opponents on every play. Â Guys he tackles don\'t instantly start going backwards. Â What I took away from this is his reaction to get to the play (i.e. be where the ball was going). Â Also, he takes on blockers and can still make the play.
