Coaches' Wish List: What LB Prospects Should Expect on Junior Day Visits

When junior day visits roll around, 4A linebackers like you will have the chance to showcase your skills in front of college coaches. But what do they look for? Coaches want to see speed, agility, and tackling ability. They'll be timing your 40-yard dash and evaluating your shuttle run times. For linebackers, a sub-4.5 second 40-yard dash and a 4.2 second shuttle run are key metrics. They'll also be looking at your film, so make sure your highlight reel showcases your ability to read and react to plays. Be prepared to demonstrate your knowledge of the game by answering questions about defensive schemes and your own playing style. Come prepared, stay focused, and you'll make a lasting impression on the coaches.
