Well my brother was 5 feet even and might have weighed 120 pounds soaking wet. He played corner back and was all state. Remember it's not the size of the player in the game, but the size of the game in the player.

Corner or Safety. I'd say corner cause in most defenses, safeties are run support guys and have to come down and lay the hat. At 120, u sound more like a corner

Definitely corner. Safeties are a little bit bigger and stronger than corners, but don't have to be as fast. Corners have to have speed and quickness. If you're too short you're gonna get 'mossed' all the time. So if you're too short I'd try RB on offense.
5 feet even? 120 pounds? All state? Division 10?

At 120, I hope your really fast. The lightest defensive position is usually The defensive backs. they have to be fast to cover defensive backs, and they usually get a running start at anyone they are trying to tackle. However, you'd probably find a better chance of being a wide reciever.

If you can run, corner. If you can hit, safety. If you can do either, play wr or qb. If you can't catch or pass try cheerleading. If you really want to play defense learn to hit. Don't let people tell you your to small to play. I was 115 in highschool and I lit some people alot bigger than me up. Strength and size help, but alot of hitting is how you hit the other person.

Safety. Tall, fast and skinny people make the best safteys. You sound like your too little to be a corner but its possible because you sound strong for your size, it only matters how good of a tackler you are.
*edit* Linebacker, or a line position is out of the question.

i'm only a little heavier, and i played linebacker. the secret of the position is to have speed and hit the ball carrier as soon as you see the movement forward. You'll have to put on a little weight i'd guess and start training. If you really like football like i do, you're probably a natural though.

If you only weigh 120lbs, you're not going to be playing defense! Keep lifting and eat lots and then try for cornerback. You're probably fast, so you'll be able to cover the WR pretty good, as long as you're a decent height.

Receiver, CB, or return man, depending on your speed. If that's lacking try out as a field goal kicker or punter. You don't really have the weight to play much else. Just stating a fact and not trying to be rude. Good luck and hope you make the team.
