you can bench 500 and squat 600- if you aren't a top of the line football player the sad truth is that you won't make it.
What is your experience playing football like?
those are solid numbers but they don't mean anything unless you got skill, you can obvuously keep up with the guys there with strength and speed but it doesnt mean anything unless your good what you going out for WR, CB ? or what?

Those are decent numbers for your weight and all, but that is the problem. 5'10 170 is pretty damn small, even at 7% bodyfat. It all depends what position you want to play, if it's qb, you'll be fine. Offensive lineman, not so much. Also get that clean up, you probably want to be doing 225x5 or more.

I am going to keep it real with you instead of saying something like "wow you're awesome!"
if your skills are as good as you say they are, you wouldn't be walking on @ penn state; you would have gotten a scholarship to another D1 school. To play @ penn state, you have to be in another league than people who play at other D1 schools. Also, sorry to burst your bubble but there are going to be probably hundreds of other guys who think they can walk on and play at penn state.
Good luck and i hope you make it, but don't be shocked if you don't make the first day of cuts.
I actually was offered a scholarship after high school to penn state but turned it down to go to school in california and now im hopeing to transfer to penn state and pick up football again... I dont plan on starting just think id be sick as fuck to say I played for penn state, I actually dont expect to make it...

ah wow man that's great- didn't know you were actually offered a scholarship there. You should definitely try to get in touch w/ their program and since you've already been offered a scholarship, it should increase your chances
good luck bro
Keep us posted Bro! You can do it if you have the desire and focus! You will be going up against recievers 6-8" taller but if you have skillz that won't be a prob....speed is everything. Guarantee if you come out runnin like the wind you will open eyes! Do some fast twitch training for speed. I bet you can knock off another tenth if you haven't trained like that before. Speed will be looked at more than strength unless you plan on putting on 30 more lbs and going out for LB. Then they will look at both.
I can promise you that you will regret it if you don't give it a shot. If you really love football and want to play every game....look into a school where you could walk on and start.
Go watch the movie Rudy! Good luck!
