What Coaches Look for on Junior Day Visits for CB Prospects
When visiting a 7A program for a junior day, cornerbacks should be prepared to showcase their skills and demonstrate their potential to coaches. Here are key areas to focus on: footwork drills, ball skills and tracking, and decision-making in coverage. Coaches will also assess your ability to read the quarterback's eyes and anticipate the receiver's route. One metric to keep in mind is the 3-cone drill, which measures agility and quickness. Aim to complete it in under 7 seconds. Additionally, be prepared to discuss film from your previous games, highlighting plays where you made a key interception or pass breakup. Come prepared with questions for the coaching staff, demonstrating your interest in the program and willingness to learn. This will help you stand out and make a lasting impression on the coaches.
