Well, I don't know about you...but you cant be an offensive linemen only benching 170, and squatting 295...
4.9 is slow, but with work you can speed up a lot
If you like to tackle I suggest switching to DB
I am an offensive linemen... and you make me look like Professional with those numbers....
So, switch to DB... your best chance at shining :-p

I would suggest since that was pretty much my build in high school is to play olb. It would really depend on what Def your team ran. If you run a 4-4 then play olb. I was stronger but I was all district with that size. If your team runs a 5-2 then look at safety. Your size isn't good enough to play a cover corner spot. But you have the chance to be a good safety. I wouldn't listen to people saying you are slow. At 4.9 that is good for being 15. But also a safety has one job DON'T let someone behind you. But really ask yourself what do you want to play and also look and see what your team needs, If your team needs a starting corner try it, if your team needs a free safety try it. It sounds like you want to play, so talk your coach and see where you fit in best.

Well coming from someone who played offensive guard....you are definetley not big enough but wise enough to know that you need a postion change. I would definitely recommend that you play DB or if you have good hands you should tryout for wide reciever. Your speed is pretty good, but if you can jump and catch a football you should have no problem finding a starting position. Good luck next year with your season.

You have the Height of a corner, the bulk of a corner, and the strength of a safety, however, you have the speed of a slow linebacker. The best thing you could do is probably work on getting that speed up. For now, reciever, corner, Free Safety, or even running back could be options.

You will find out what position you will play after the coach sees you in practice. He will make the ultimate decision of where and if you will play based upon your abilities and the needs of the team. Good luck to ya kid!!

you sound like a good safety with a good combo of speed and strength though nothing special in either
