TE Prospects: What Coaches Look for on Junior Day Visits
📍 Hewitt-Trussville Huskies·Sunday, July 5, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As a junior tight end prospect at a 7A program like Hewitt-Trussville Huskies, you're likely to be invited to junior day visits at top colleges. To make a lasting impression, focus on showcasing your skills in key areas. Coaches want to see your ability to block in the run game, particularly in the 'Y' position. They'll be looking for you to seal the edge and create a seam for the running back. According to AHSAA data, the top 7A tight ends in Alabama averaged 3.2 blocks per game last season. To demonstrate this skill, practice your 'Y' block technique and focus on sealing the edge with your feet and hands. Additionally, be prepared to showcase your pass-catching skills in drills and 1-on-1s.
