Navigating Unofficial Visits as a CB Prospect
As a cornerbacks prospect at a smaller program like Kearney, unofficial visits can be a crucial opportunity to make a name for yourself in front of bigger school coaches. When planning an unofficial visit, research the school's cornerback development pipeline and identify the coaches you'll be meeting with. Prepare a list of questions to ask about their recruiting process, cornerback techniques, and any specific drills they use to evaluate prospects. For example, ask about their use of the 'jam and re-route' drill to assess a cornerback's ability to disrupt receivers at the line of scrimmage. Dress professionally and arrive early to show respect for the coaches' time. Bring a highlight tape that showcases your skills and be prepared to discuss your strengths and weaknesses. By being prepared and professional, you can make a lasting impression on coaches and increase your chances of getting noticed.
