Crusaders' Coaches Break Down Junior Day Visits for Running Backs
Saint Louis Crusaders coaches will be hosting a junior day for running back prospects this summer. To make a lasting impression, recruits should focus on showcasing their athleticism and football IQ. Coaches will be looking for players who can demonstrate speed, agility, and power in drills and scrimmages. Specifically, they'll be measuring 40-yard dash times and vertical jumps to gauge explosiveness. Recruits should also be prepared to discuss their film, highlighting key plays and demonstrating an understanding of the game. For example, a recruit who can explain the defensive alignment and subsequent play call on a particular touchdown run will show coaches they're more than just a talented athlete. By being prepared and showcasing their skills, running backs can make a strong case for themselves at the junior day.
