Crusade to the Top: A Junior Day Guide for CB Prospects
📍 Catholic Memorial Crusaders·Wednesday, July 15, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Junior day visits are a crucial step in the recruiting process for cornerbacks looking to join top 4A programs like Catholic Memorial's Crusaders. Coaches want to see a combination of physical skills and mental toughness. Here's what to expect: arrive early, be prepared to run drills, and demonstrate your ability to read the quarterback's eyes. For example, during a recent junior day, Crusaders coach Bill Young emphasized the importance of 'eyes on the quarterback' – having your eyes locked on the QB's eyes, not the ball. This requires focus and anticipation. Bring a highlight tape showcasing your ability to stay with receivers and make plays on the ball. Be ready to discuss your academic goals and how they align with the program's values.
