Cracking the Code: What Coaches Look for on Junior Day Visits
As a 6A quarterback prospect, impressing college coaches on a junior day visit requires more than just raw talent. Coaches want to see a combination of football IQ, leadership skills and athleticism. Here's what to expect and how to stand out: Coaches will put you through a series of drills to assess your mechanics, accuracy and decision-making. They'll also evaluate your ability to read defenses and make adjustments on the fly. One key metric to focus on is your completion percentage in a 7-on-7 drill, aiming for 75% or higher. Additionally, be prepared to answer questions about your film, such as your strengths and weaknesses, and how you handle adversity. Showcasing your ability to lead and motivate your teammates will also make a lasting impression.
