okay i will be a junior in high school next year and i am planning on trying out for the football team i am 5'8-5'9, and like 190-210 range in that area, but i was wondering where you think i should play, coach said for defense tackle but i don't really care defense. but offense we need line i could be a starting offensive line because all the line graduated, but i hate line. and when i play rec football i have gotten 80-100 yard runs no problem i am just tired afterwards because asthma, but i have a pretty good stiff arm, but need work on lowering my shoulders, and i think i could seriously competing for fullback. but i am not fast really just fast for my size i really must admit i am quick. but i am out of shape and 2days and practice are harder on fullbacks the lineman, so should i go to what i enjoy, fullback, or just go with lineman just so i start, any suggestions on what i should do, or any advice, or any suggestions for other positions would help thanks

I would suggest you try to get in shape by running a lot! and then try out for the position that you want! However the coach makes the decision of where you will have the best chance of playing! I wasn't that fast for my position either! I was a wide reciever while I should have been a fullback or tight end. Go run, and workout this summer then try out for fullback or linebacker!

Theres no way you should consider linebacker if you "get a little tired after a 80 yard run"
...you can expect that every play of the game for 60 plays...
My first reaction is to mention Defensive line...maybe even defensive End.
My second reaction is to play where coach puts you.
Coach knows where he needs players and knows your abilities.
Good luck.

You should play where you are needed and where the coaching staff feel you would best benefit the team. Then you won't have to worry about it and you can just enjoy playing america's game...Football

I agree with whoever answered below me, you sound like a good fit for outside linebacker or maybe even strong saftey.
goodluck.

play FB because if you play a position you really don't like you won't play at top level.
