Cracking the Code: What OL Prospects Need to Know for Junior Day Visits
Junior day visits are a crucial step in the college recruitment process for high school football players. For offensive linemen, these visits are a chance to showcase their skills and demonstrate their potential to college coaches. To make a lasting impression, OL prospects need to focus on the following key areas. First, arrive early and be prepared to participate in drills and scrimmages. Coaches want to see technique, footwork and overall athleticism. For example, a 4.8-second 40-yard dash time is a minimum expectation for most FBS programs. Additionally, be prepared to answer questions about film study, practice habits and leadership roles. Finally, make sure to ask thoughtful questions about the program and coaches. A well-prepared OL prospect will leave a lasting impression on college coaches.
