Answer 1

Well....Your 15 so probably still going to gro a little. In High School you do not have to be perfect for any one position to be able to play, that is the beauty of High School athletics.

Running Back would probably be your best position. Continue to work on the strength, weight and speed and you could actually be a great fit.

Receiver would be an option. Yes, you are a little short, but could still make out ok over the middle if you can handle the hit and hold on to the ball.

Cornerback is another option. Your speed is great for that position in High School. Again, a little short,but I think you will still grow some. And again, try to put on a little weight.

Special Teams (i.e. punt and kick return). If you can catch and hold on to the ball and make people miss, coaches always need people here. The biggest thing is holding on to the ball.....be ready to get hit.

Fullback. Depending on your frame, you may be able to put on 40 lbs and make an ok High School fullback, would need to be heavier for this position out of high school.

Good luck. Remember more than half of what it takes is heart and the willingness to give 100% to what you want to do. Don't let others make that decision for you, don't be discouraged.

Answer 2

I think it depends on your school size and division strength. Yuo appear to be at a cross roads where work on speed or bulking up copuld flex your position. A safety would not be that bad of a position seeing you have the decent closing speed on the run, and could not let anything over the top of you.
the strong squating and 4.5 speed in highschool could lead to a halfback, or if you were bulked up more, a full back slot.
I could alsoo suggest the corner position, but at 5'7" you would need a good vert to overcome the tall guys

Answer 3

If you want to advance to the next level you probably have 2 options: Defensive back (probably CB) or running back. You probably won't grow too much more in terms of height (especially for how much lifting you do already), but you definitely can pack on more body mass.

Your 40 time is impressive for your age, but work on getting it lower (4.3 to 4.4) to be more attractive for college scouts especially at RB or DB where elite speed is crucial to being noticed.

Running back would be a good position if you're elusive enough to stay on your feet and strong enough to take the punishment. But you have better odds making it as a DB. Many people end up at DB in high school because they aren't elusive enough for RB, too short for WR, have bad hands or play both ways. But, if you excel at the position, you'll really stand out. Every team could use more DB's because you have at least 2 CB's and 2 Safeties on the field at all times, as opposed to 1 or 2 RB's.

Truthfully, if your goal is to play in college, your position won't matter as much as your stats, athletic ability and instincts for the game. You can always be converted once you get to the next level. Focus on being the best at whatever position the coach has you play from Day 1 to get loads of playing time and experience. That attitude will help you be successful and liked by the coaches.

Good luck and work hard this off-season.

Answer 4

I would recomend Strong Safety. If you really are that fast and strong, you should be able to keep up and run routes with recievers. I assume you can jump and have enough blocking leverage to blitz a lineman. Focus on speed during the off season. Hone your jumping skills and learn to read recievers. Learn to follow quarterbacks eyes. This will help you become a great SS. Troy Polamalu the star safety for the Steelers is 5' 10" and has 4.3 speed. He is so good because of his ability to read recievers and QB's

Answer 5

Safety or Corner, you're just too light to be an offensive weapon. I don't take stock in 40 times, they're pretty much useless these days. Squats aren't even widely used in the NFL anymore (i study football and the programs, trust me go to leg presses), and power clean has always been overated. I'd personally say you're too small, but I'd give you a shot at corner.

Answer 6

You could be a good Running Back. Your size and strength would make you an excellent up the middle guy if you can handle all the carries. You just have to get low and power your way for 4-6 yards a carry. You might want to get a little bigger.

Answer 7

These fags are saying Tight end. With your build i am only assuming u aren't fast tight ends have to be somewhat fast u would make an excellent LT if u have quick feet and are athletic. If u aren't play guard. On D u should play DE in a 3-4 system or DT in a 4-3.

Answer 8

Offensive: Fullback or Tightend
Defensive: Linebacker or a Safety.

Answer 9

Safety

Answer 10

Sounds like you are pretty strong. I think you would fit good as a nickelback. Like Linebacker/Saftey. You got the speed and the power.
