CB Prospects: What Coaches Look for on Junior Day Visits

As a cornerback prospect at a 6A program like Starkville, you're likely eyeing a junior day visit to get noticed by college coaches. But what do they look for during these visits? Coaches want to see technique, speed, and instincts on the field. They'll be watching how you react to different scenarios, such as covering a receiver on a slant route or making a tackle in the open field. One key metric to focus on is your 40-yard dash time. Coaches want to see sub-4.6 seconds, with some even looking for 4.5 or better. During your junior day visit, make sure to show coaches your ability to change direction quickly and stay in phase with the receiver. This will give them a better understanding of your potential as a college cornerback.
