Luca Cobucci's You Tube highlight clip displays the Hastings signal caller's deep ball accuracy, potent arm, rushing ability, and his sheer nose for the end zone.
In his dramatic, five-minute online resume reel, the 6-foot-4 senior is hitting a wealth of receivers in stride.
While the highlight package could be pigeonholed as just another under-the-radar recruit at quarterback garnering more college exposure via You Tube, it really has much more meaning.
In its entirety, the segment is indicative of Cobucci's role as the engineer of Hastings' passing game.
The video identifies Cobucci as the double threat quarterback he is, the essential ingredient of a tight-knit Class of 2011.
Cobucci, who helped pilot the Jackets to a 31-8 shelling of Valhalla this weekend (with Brandon Abrahante erupting for a season-high three touchdowns), may or may not be the best football player on Hastings' roster.
In the end it doesn't matter because Cobucci is ultimately the most crucial player.
The wiry, cannon-toting Cobucci has operated offense for a Hastings team that sorely lacked an aerial game before Joe Vaccaro implemented a spread offense in 2005.
"We're definitely not afraid to throw the ball," said Vaccaro, following Hastings' euphoric 7-6 victory over Raging Rivertowns Rival Dobbs Ferry.
"We like to throw. With Luca and all the kids we have as options, we're confident."
Once recognized for their relentless up-the-middle gives to the fullback, Hastings has become more prolific and less conservative in their offensive execution.
Vaccaro switched from a Wing-T to a spread offense, a decision made to open up the aerial assault.
Vaccaro's personnel seemed to dictate a change in offensive approach.
The spread offense utilized the arm strength of Dan Bohm and southpaw Pete Fishman, the pair of quarterbacks who would pass the baton to Cobucci.
Cobucci walked in the door as a callow, paper-thin freshman but he offered immediate contributions.
The kid picked up the ball himself and helped Hastings enhance their identity as a team which supplements the ground game with a significant passing presence.
And so midway through the 2007 campaign, adjustments were made.
Vaccaro realized Hastings would be more proficient at dissecting defenses with a deepball threat and workadown back who could navigate pathways with speed and bullish force. He moved then-sophomore QB Luke D'Alessandro to running back.
This opened up the gate for Cobucci at quarterback. As a freshman on a team that accurately resembled a youth movement, Cobucci was expected to spearhead the offense and shake hard-hitting upperclassmen.
Cobucci was the incoming golden boy, the new kid on the block. Few freshman under Vaccaro had smelled the field or started on varsity, the last before Cobucci being Matt "Man-Child" Manchester.
Suddenly a freshman was starting at quarterback, the position requiring the most knowledge, veteran-savvy, know-how, and nerveless poise.
Not to worry.
Cobucci suddenly created a connection with a receiving corps that embraced an augmented workload.
"As a freshman, getting lifted into a starter's role was pretty big," said Cobucci.
"But I had a lot of people help me out and ease the transition. My teammates trusted me, they never treated me with any disrespect and didn't make me feel like a freshman. I'm always going to be grateful for that."
Amongst those teammates was former Hastings tight end Seth Snyder, a then-senior who helped nurture Cobucci's success and mentor him for the big stage.
Thrust into the spotlight, Cobucci was a beneficiary of the veteran tight end's presence and consistent mentoring.
And so Cobucci evolved into the table-setter for the Jackets, passing the rock around the field while everyone eat off the plate.
Flip the clock to current times. Cobucci threw for 1,100 yards last season. He set a new high-water mark for passing yards in a season as a sophomore.
In his senior season, Cobucci looks the part of one of the most potent-armed QBs on the along the Section 1 small schools circuit.
In the showdown against Dobbs Ferry, Cobucci scrambled out of the pocket and hit go-to receiver Keenan Charles for a seven-yard touchdown strike.
It turned out to be the biggest play of a long, defensive-minded afternoon littered with penalties.
Cobucci shared the wealth, with receivers George Moore and Abrahante hauling in key receptions.
Cobucci credits his receivers for running efficient patterns, snaring down his passes and knowing where to anticipate his passes. Much of it has to do with the chemistry they've developed throughout the years.
During the 31-8 pasting of Valhalla, Cobucci set the tempo early. He hit Abrahante for a 35-yard touchdown strike in the first quarter.
Cobucci dumped a five-yard touchdown pass into the arms of Dan Aigen in the second quarter, as Hastings seized a commanding 17-0 lead they wouldn’t squander.
The Vikings answered with a 25-yard touchdown reception by senior wideout Dan Annunziata.
Hastings broke the game open in the second half, allowing their bulge to ballon.
Abrahante punched in a three-yard touchdown.
A unique blend of size and speed, Abrahante later ripped off a 40-yard end zone jaunt, dropping the hammer on the Vikings.
Against Valhalla, Cobucci's rapport with his receiver and close friend/neighbor Charles was clear.
"The security blanket for me has been Keenan Charles," said Cobucci, who once threw baby bullets to Charles when the two played Hastings Pee Football under Kevin Mackey back in the day.
"He made six catches against Valhalla, something like that. We've been neighbors, we've been throwing together for like four years, so it feels good to have him as my no.1 target right now."
"We throw at Reynolds all the time. We even throw on our block. We'll just throw on the street for hours. We've been playing together for a while, it's been about six years."
Since they were trounced by Tuckahoe in the season-opener, Hastings has scored pivotal back-to-back victories. Cobucci said the intensity levels have ratcheted up in practice since an embarrassing Tuckahoe loss.
"Since that (Tuckahoe) loss, we've been practicing a lot better," he explained.
"We've been practicing really hard and getting after it. For Dobbs, obviously we played... not to the best of our abilities. but we played better. It was because of that week of practice and how hard we went. The Valhalla game, we practiced and prepared hard as well. I think it was just, we're taking practice a lot more seriously. People are realizing how bad it feels to lose so, we just don't want to do it again."
Cobucci doesn't like to look in the rearview mirror.
He knows that in life there are no mulligans. There's no looking back. Cobucci is also cognizant of the fact that this is the seniors' very last dance as Yellow Jackets.
"This it for us," said Cobucci.
"I think it's really going to hit us on homecoming, which is the last game of the season. I'm definitely not trying to think about it just yet."
With the keys to the offense, the four-year veteran knows he and the Jackets have the power to delay those thoughts for later rather than sooner.
