Sure tryout. You have nothing to lose. You need to put on at least 20 lbs though to avoid getting beat up, but you may not need to put on any additional weight if you play in a small league where the competition is the same size. You'd be foolish to play against bigger heavier opponents. You'd only get injured. But the coach will cut you if he thinks you're too small, so go for it.

only if your willing to PRACTICE. If your willing to go through the 2 a days and being yelled at by the coaches. you'll love the games there is nothing like playing in front of that many people supprting you
p.s. how fast you run a mile means nothing on a field 100 yards whats the 40?

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD! I've been coaching high school football for over 30 years. It's not all about statistics. Size, speed, strength are all important assets however its how you use all of these assets on the field. I've seen many less gifted players excel mainly because of their dedication and desire.
GOOD LUCK!

Yes, being on a team is more than athletic ability. it is important, but not as important as learning to live and work with others. This is the greatest lesson you will learn between the sidelines.

Yea! You sound fast! If you want to play offense be WR. Or on Deffense be LB.

no. play music, start a band. you've got a better chance in making it big doing that, than playing football.

If you love football then do it. You only live your life once and you don't want to spend half your life regretting that you didn't.
