What position should my son be?

Question

My son keeps asking me what position he should play on his middle school football team. He is 13 years old 5'8 and fast slim and strong. He has good hands also. He weighs 130 pounds I know thats bot much info but any sugestions?

Answer 1

He should consider being an outside linebacker, fast enough to rush the QB and the hand to be able to drop back into a zone.

Answer 2

I would tell him to play linebacker or corner back because 130 at 13 is pretty big and if he has good speed corner would be good but unless he grows a little i wouldn't tell him to play wide receiver you need to be at least 6 foot for that as long as he can hit he will do fine on defense/'/

Answer 3

I would go with a running back on the offensive side, and a linebacker on the defense. Middle linebacker, thats what I play right now and he will love it. Captain of the defense.

Answer 4

He should be a Defensive-Back or a Wide Receiver. If he is tall and fast he could do well at those positions.

Answer 5

Looks like he is tall and fast with good hands,Wide reciever.I play WR, practice catching balls way high in the air over your shoulders.WR is the best choice because he skinny.I am 5'1" fast and very good hands and i play WR.

Answer 6

Corner Back or Line Backer

Answer 7

I would suggestion letting his coach decide what position to play. He might see some hidden talent your son has or know the exact position where your son's attributes will shine.

Answer 8

Linebacker maybe Defensive end or Running back

Answer 9

he seems like he could prolly play any position in the secondary like Safety or cornerback, and his height and having good hands could be good for a Receiver

Answer 10

Corner Back...
