Junior Day Visits: What WCAC Coaches Look for in QB Prospects
When attending a junior day visit at a WCAC program like Good Counsel, quarterback prospects should be prepared to showcase their skills and demonstrate their potential to coaches. According to sources, coaches look for QBs who can accurately read defenses and make quick decisions in the pocket. To demonstrate this, QBs should be prepared to execute a series of plays that test their ability to read coverages and exploit weaknesses. For example, coaches may ask QBs to complete a series of 5-yard passes to a receiver running a shallow cross route, while also identifying and reacting to a blitzing linebacker. The key metric to focus on is completion percentage under pressure, with a target of 80% or higher. By showcasing their ability to read defenses and make quick decisions, QBs can make a strong impression on WCAC coaches and increase their chances of earning a scholarship offer.
