Linebacker highlight reel FAQ

How does NextPlay's AI know what plays matter for a linebacker?

NextPlay's AI is position-aware across 40+ positions and 14+ sports. For linebacker in football, the analyzer surfaces role-specific moments (the plays college coaches grade you on) and weights them ahead of generic highlights. You don't have to tag plays manually — the AI knows what a linebacker's tape should look like.

How long should a linebacker recruiting reel be?

Most college coaches open a recruiting reel for 60–90 seconds. NextPlay's Recruiting Highlight is built for that audience — landscape, muted, ordered for impact — and when you share it you can pick a 15, 60, or 90-second length right from the share sheet, all from the same upload.

Is NextPlay free for linebackers starting out in football?

Yes — NextPlay's Free plan covers 5 short clips/month so athletes can try the workflow. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for unlimited uploads and full-game Game Tape. No watermark on any plan.

Can I share my linebacker highlight reel directly with college coaches?

Yes. Every reel gets a shareable public link that opens on any device. The reel is generated in both 16:9 recruiting format (the format coaches expect) and 9:16 social format. Coach views are tracked so you know who's watching.
