Gonna try out for football. What position should I play?(stats inside)

[WODIN]

In. H.S. I was running 4.7's at your age....

Evolks, let me put it to you this way... I'm 40 and I can still burn out a 4.7-8 if I want to. I ran a 4.56 once my soph year in college @ 257 pounds. 1/10 of a second is forever in the hot zone.

Re: Fullback

You sound like a fullback to me bro (that's what I play/played)

are you out of your mind

185 lbs full

no way

i was 6 250
ran a 4.7
and i played fullback


sorry bro but i really have to disagree on this one

Depends on your state, school, heart...

For a decent team in New Orleans, you would either have to gain about 25lbs and run around a 4.8 or stay around 190 at 4.5

I have seen some great HS LB at sub-200lb, but your as better be cock strong and be able to fly.

I started at RB for 3 years and I was 185lb and ran a 4.52.... That is not considered that fast for a RB in New Orleans...

One Name...Zack Thomas.

That bitch hits like a train....he' listed as 5'11 235. No way in hell....he's more like 5'9 220 at the most. He truly is the big dawg out there you know where is is on the field when u play and the coaches spen much time on him in film......Never under estimate heart....it may be the last mistake u make!

Think about what position you'd like to play as well, and consider what the coaches are looking for. My cousin played football for his highschool, his first year and last on the team was when he was a senior. He got cut from varsity b/c the coach didn't like the fact that he caught the ball in the body.

You got some kick ass stats for a sophmore. Any power position would suit you well.

Sounds like you have some power in you legs for your age. If you run a tandom backfield I would try out for fullback! If you run a single backfield you may want to move to defense and go for outside linebacker!

If you can increase you speed just a couple tenths of a second I would surely go for the glory of Running back.

 

[Checkmatebloated]

Just read KAYNE's thoughts and I agree 100%.


you need to work on you leg speed!!

Evolks, I am an offensive tackle at the div 1 level for a top div 1 school. Ill tell u this u ned to enjoy the position and take pride in what your offense does because without an O line the team goes no where. When my back rushes for 200 yds, our unit takes pride in it. I am going into my senior year 2 nd yr starter and trying to make the last go around a good one. Also work out and get strong because in the trenches strength is a key and being a hardass is required as well. I am 6'5" 305 so that helps to. All i have to say is enjoy the sport it is a fun one. By the way i start camp this week, that is not fun. Take Care.

 

[Evloks]

Thanks for all the input. Guess speed is somethin I`m gonna have to really work on this year.

Today we had our scrimmage game!!! I had to play linebacker instead of o-line though. I got like 3 tackles and almost got a sac!! I`m happy with that.
