Coaches' Eyes on You: What LB Prospects Need to Bring on Junior Day Visits

When junior day visits roll around, LB prospects at 6A programs like La Cueva Bears should be prepared to showcase their skills. Coaches look for players who can demonstrate speed, agility, and tackling ability. To stand out, prospects should focus on explosive acceleration off the line of scrimmage and the ability to change direction quickly. Coaches also want to see a player's ability to read and react to the offense. One metric to focus on is the '3-cone drill,' where a player must navigate a zigzag course in 3.5 seconds or less. Prospects should also be prepared to discuss their game tape, highlighting specific plays where they used their speed and agility to make a game-changing play.
