Junior Day Visits: What RB Prospects Need to Know
For running backs at 6A programs like Oscar Smith, junior day visits can be a crucial step in the recruiting process. Coaches look for prospects who demonstrate a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, and the ability to adapt to their system. During a junior day visit, RBs should be prepared to showcase their skills in drills and scrimmages, but also be ready to learn from the coaches. One key metric coaches look for is a prospect's ability to read blocks and hit holes quickly. For example, if a coach sees a RB consistently hitting holes 0.2 seconds faster than their blockers, it's a sign they're a quick learner and can make an immediate impact. By showcasing their skills and demonstrating a willingness to learn, RBs can make a lasting impression on coaches and take their recruitment to the next level.
