Navigating Unofficial Visits: A Guide for 8A Running Backs

As a rising star at an 8A program like Loyola Academy, you're likely fielding interest from top colleges. Unofficial visits can be a great way to get a feel for a campus, but they require finesse. To make a positive impression, research the team's needs and create a list of questions. For example, if you're visiting Northwestern, study their recent rushing stats and come prepared to discuss how you can help fill that void. During the visit, be respectful of coaches' time and engage in meaningful conversations. Aim to send a thank-you note or email within 24 hours of the visit. This shows you're organized and professional. Don't forget to capture your experience on social media, but keep the focus on the visit, not just your own exploits.
