What Coaches Look for on a Junior Day Visit: A Guide for CB Prospects

As a cornerback prospect at a 5A program like Dorman, you're likely eager to make a strong impression on college coaches during junior day visits. To increase your chances of standing out, focus on demonstrating the following skills: explosive acceleration off the line, tight coverage techniques, and ball skills. Coaches will also be evaluating your football IQ, so be prepared to discuss game plans and defensive strategies. For example, if you're asked to cover a receiver with a 4.4 40-yard dash, be prepared to explain how you'd use a combination of press coverage and inside leverage to limit their big-play potential. Additionally, bring a highlight tape that showcases your best plays, and be ready to discuss your strengths and weaknesses.
