Favorite Highlight Reel of All Time?

DurdenTider · Feb 22, 2011

It seems like HS recruits highlight reels are becoming more and more impressive each year. After a few discussions on other threads I was wondering, what is your favorite highlight reel of all time?

Obviously, Jadeveon Clowney's reel is one of the best videos of all time but I can remember a small RB out of Cypress, TX named Sam McGuffie that had some of the best reels I'd ever seen. He ended up going to Michigan and didn't pan out but his reels were amazing.

Who were some of your favorites?

Noel Devine is the one that sticks out to me from the past several years.

Actually, McGuffie now plays for Rice. After a year at UM, he transferred back to Texas to play at Rice. I remember his reel because he jumped over a car, didn't he?

Clowney's, Reggie Bush's, Noel Devine's and Percy Harvin's come to mind as the best I've ever seen.

Trent Richardson had the best film of any Bama recruit I've seen, and I watched those far, far more times than I needed to.

He jumps over everyone and everything.

Another that stuck out at the time was Allen Bailey (Miami) from the 2007 class.

It is funny you mention McGuffie right off the bat as he was the first one I thought of when I saw the thread title. I would put Trent Richardson at a close second as he had several good ones out there. I remember him carrying the ball "high and tight" as him and his friends walked down the railroad track to that sandy hill to get in a good workout. I was sold on him just in watching that video alone!

Lache Seastrunk was pretty unreal.

WMack4Bama · Feb 22, 2011

From our guys, Prothro and Javier..Vlachos had a nice one too. Just pancake after pancake. Showed a real mean streak. Otherwise, other than the ones already stated, DeSean Jackson and Knowshon Moreno are a couple that come to mind.

EDIT: The best one I've NEVER seen though.....hands down. Al Bundy. Polk High. 4 touchdowns in 1 game. UNREAL

That's another good call. One of the fastest on film I've seen.

The Marcus Dupree footage from the 30 for 30 series is unreal.

CoachTeague · Feb 22, 2011

I've gotta go with Noel Devine also. His highlight clips were simply jawdropping at certain points.

Not sure I have a favorite, but Arthur Brown's highlights were also unreal.

Another good one. He was a surprising bust. He was short, but he was an absolute missile to the ballcarrier.

GreatDanish · Feb 23, 2011

Noel Devine's is the best I can recall. His videos were the first that I remember going viral. That happened from his Freshman and Sophomore clips.

From our recruits, Andre's wasn't too shabby.
An underrated one, IMO, was Jalston Fowler's.

Roy Upchurch had a great highlight film. Looked like Gayle Sayers. Also Mike Ford in 2006

I thought Ford's highlights were better than both Upchurch and Coffee but he did not pan out near as well. I thought Mark Barron's highlights were incredible on offense running the ball in the wing t and was also a beast at LB of defense. I told a friend he we was our 2nd best recruit in the 2008 class behind Julio and I believe it is true.
