NIL and Recruiting Guide for LB Prospects: Making the Most of Junior Day Visits
As a linebacker prospect at a 6A program like Cleveland Storm, junior day visits can be a crucial opportunity to make a lasting impression on college coaches. To maximize your visit, focus on showcasing your football IQ and ability to diagnose plays. Coaches want to see how you process information and react to different scenarios. Practice reading the quarterback's eyes and identifying the ball carrier's intentions. For example, try to identify the play type (run or pass) 80% of the time in a 10-play sequence. This demonstrates your ability to stay focused and adapt to different situations. Additionally, be prepared to ask thoughtful questions about the program and coaches' expectations. Showing genuine interest and a willingness to learn can go a long way in making a positive impression.
