Navigating Unofficial Visits: A Guide for OL Prospects
As Division II-AAA programs like the MBA Trojans prepare for the upcoming season, offensive linemen must navigate the world of unofficial visits. These trips can be a crucial part of the recruitment process, but they require careful planning and professionalism. When scheduling an unofficial visit, OL prospects should research the team's schedule and plan to attend a practice or scrimmage. This allows for valuable face-time with coaches and a chance to showcase skills. For example, consider attending a team's 7-on-7 passing camp, where you can demonstrate your ability to block in space. Additionally, OL prospects should bring a notebook and take detailed notes on the team's playbook and coaching style. This demonstrates a willingness to learn and adapt, making a positive impression on coaches.
