What DE Prospects Need to Know About Junior Day Visits
As a defensive end prospect at a top-tier program like Fargo Shanley, you're likely eager to make a strong impression on college coaches during junior day visits. Coaches are looking for a few key things: speed, agility, and technique. To stand out, focus on showcasing your ability to bend and change direction quickly. Coaches want to see you move efficiently from a three-point stance to a pass rush. For example, aim to beat the opposing tackle's inside move with a 3.5-second reaction time. This means you need to be able to quickly diagnose the play and get into position. Practice your footwork and reaction time this summer to improve your chances of making a lasting impression on college coaches. Don't just show up – show them what you're working with.
