Unofficial Visits 101: A Guide for LB Prospects at 4A Programs

As the summer heats up, many 4A linebackers are gearing up for unofficial visits to top programs. To make a lasting impression, it's essential to approach these trips with a professional mindset. Upon arrival, arrive 15 minutes early to show respect for the coaches' time. During the visit, ask thoughtful questions that demonstrate your knowledge of the team and position. For example, ask the defensive coordinator about their philosophy on blitz packages and how you can contribute to the scheme. When meeting with the coaching staff, maintain eye contact, and avoid distractions like your phone. Finally, send a thank-you note or email within 24 hours of the visit to express your gratitude and reiterate your interest in the program.
