What LB Prospects Need to Know for Junior Day Visits

Junior day visits are a crucial part of the college recruiting process for LB prospects at 6A programs like Coatesville Red Raiders. Coaches are looking for players who can make an immediate impact on special teams and provide depth at linebacker. To stand out, prospects should focus on showcasing their speed, agility, and tackling ability. Coaches will also evaluate a player's ability to diagnose and react to plays. For example, a prospect who can consistently beat the quarterback to the ball in a 3-cone drill (time of 4.2 seconds or less) will likely catch a coach's eye. Additionally, prospects should be prepared to discuss their film, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and be ready to ask informed questions about the program.
