It depends on the coach, he will put you where you will better serve the team.

O.K. kid, here is what you are going to have to do. You need to be a running back. Thing is we need a lot more mass on those legs. Quit doing so many sit ups and push ups, I know we all think it looks lovely but a good back and strong legs is what is desired out of a half back. I shouldn't say quit the sit ups and push ups but start the Squats, lunges, box jumps, leg press. Bench will come, good right now though.
Start sprinting too, get your windsprints up. I also don't know what everyone is so concerned about the run time for, you are 14, if you do those squats and lunges you will be sub 13 in no time, especially with your upper body conditioning.
Good luck kid!

I think you should play a tight end or linebacker...100 meter 13.3 is alright for 14 yrs old but def not long term runningback material. by that i mean you could be alright but since your quick but not the fastest around youd be much better suited at a position where speed is not the upmost essence

4 position you should try out for
RB for your speed and wrestling abilty can get you into small holes and out of them pretty quick
WR you speed can get you up the field quite fast and run routes that can get you open
CB should not be to hard to keep up with the recivers
Saftie speed and agilty are both a fator here, you can come in quick on a sfaty blitz if needed and can get around the feid for interseptions as well

It really depends on you, but according to your body characteristics, I would put you at strong safety or cornerback. On offense your best shot would be wide receiver. Again it depends on you. You might enjoy tackling rather than being tackled. Choose a position that you will have fun at.

I think you would best be fit for a running back because yo are fast and very strong and you have great endurance!

I would go with linebacker. You actually will get to hit people that way and your wrestling skills could come in handy when you have to take down running backs that may be bigger than you are.

first of all WOW! DAMN, i haven't seen something that good for a while.... no that's a lie, just last week. LOL! It hink you'll totally make the team. it depends on the position you want to play, i mean what do you like and what are you good at. don't play a position you don't like, cuz you'll get really sick of it. GOOD LUCK THOUGH!
p.s. you don't look 14, cuz i'm 14 and i know what guys your age look like... and well.... they don't look like you. lol! good luck!

If your team has any camps in the summer, try both running back and reciever and see which you like better.
