What Coaches Look for on a Junior Day Visit: A Guide for LB Prospects

Junior day visits offer a chance for top prospects like you to showcase your skills and build relationships with college coaches. As a linebacker prospect at an A program like Bangor Rams, you'll want to make a strong impression. Coaches look for players who can fill specific needs on their team, so be prepared to demonstrate your skills in areas such as tackling, coverage, and pass-rushing. For example, if a coach is looking for a linebacker who can excel in a 3-4 scheme, be prepared to show your ability to drop into coverage and make tackles in space. Be prepared to discuss your film, highlighting specific plays where you've demonstrated these skills. Bring a highlight reel with 10-15 clips that showcase your best work.
