i am 18 and im a QB what should i do?

Question

I am a good QB from what my friend and others have said about my throwing and arm strength and accuracy. i want to go play in college but i dont know what to do because i didnt play in hs because my grades were more important to me.

since i know how to run an offense and can find the open reciever and can figure the defensive rush what should i do to convince a college coach that i might be good for his team since i havent learnd any playbook yet and dont really know how to memorize a playbook.

Answer 1

Its not a matter of learning a playbook. Terry Bradshaw had three plays in every formation and is a Hall of Famer. Like seriously all you can really do is work hard on your athletics and then depeneding on what school your going to learn there type of offence. Like you need to see if they run the option or what right. Then ask coaches from high schools go to the library find videos on these kind of offences. Any lingo and such you can pick up or any tips helps like seriously coaching help books work

Answer 2

I would say start off in small schools where they don't get any real big name scholarhsip guys from high schools.If you can get into a small college in a low division of football maybe you can use that as your stepping stone. It will be so much easier to get your foot in the door with a small "no name" college and build up your football resume there.If you do get a shot and succeed and put up big numbers,then you will have your bargaining chips for a big name school to give you a transfer and a chance at a starting job in your Junior or Senior years probably.

Many guys strike out cause they try to get into a big name school and win a job with other guys who were All State this and All State that in highschool.They can have all the talent in the world but be permanent back ups and never have the chance to show what they can do with all the other big names around them.You need to find a place where you can really stand out from the crowd and get noticed by scouts and other colleges so you can bypass that whole competing for playing time thing with a bench full of All State high school guys from across the country.If you prove yourself at like an Alcorn State type place then you can bypass that whole proving yourself thing and maybe get an offer as a starting QB upon transfer to a big school and not have to fight for that chance. Just a suggestion i hope it works out.

Don't give up on yourself and think like "Wow being a pro QB would be a dream come true but that will never happen to me so why bother".I garauntee you that guys like Montana and Tom Brady had those thoughts cross their mind when they were younger.Look at Kurt Warner.He won a super bowl,a few weeks before he got a contract for St. Louis his job was bagging groceries.He didn't make it the convential way so anything is possible.Don't give up on your dream cause if everyone did there would be no pro sports leagues to begin with,every one would have just assumed they couldn't get to that level and just give up.Those who tell themselves they are good enough to make it have the drive and determination to make it.Your abilities and your faith in yourself is most important,thats what gets you to where you want to be,not an all state high school label.Many all state high school players never got a starting gig at college nevermind the NFL while some who weren't all state anything did.The difference was in who wanted it most and who did whatever they had to do to get there.Keep that in mind.

Answer 3

If grades were more important than football in High School, then I recommend you joining something like ballet or tennis. This is a mans sport, where your gonna get hit by coke machines with legs! If you have never been hit by a defensive end unexpectedly then you are in for a surprise! Do not go out there thinking your gonna do good if you do happen to luckily get 3rd string. Act like your gonna be killed, cuz u probably will be. Its different when you get hit hard and have guys running at you full speed wanting to rip your adams apple out of you. GOOD LUCK! ps, high school is easy, college is what seperates the weiners from the real guys in football. College is filled with Speed, power and LOTS OF TALENT. My Advice? DONT DO IT!

Answer 4

Are you joking? I mean, you sound like a joke.
How can you possible say that you can find the open receiver, figure out the defensive rush and everything else you said when you've never played a down of even high school football.
The only thing you can do is find out when you can try to make it as a walk on.

Answer 5

Dude, creating a player with good arm strength and being able to read a D in NCAA 07 does not mean you can play in real life. By the way nobody who is cool enough to play QB in high school would ever say someting so gay as "my grades were more important to me." Hillarious.

Answer 6

Be a "Walk on" at a division 2 school until you get the experience you need. After 2 years transfer to division 1.

Answer 7

First get accepted to a college, hopefully you can atleast pay of have academic scholarship for it. Then try out as a walk on at that college, to figure out tryout days go to the sports department and they will let you know. On try out day do the best that you can do and if your good enough the coaches and graders will let you know. Start practing and learning the sport NOW!!!!!

Answer 8

How do you know you can do all these things if you didn't play high school football?

About all you can do is go to college and walk on and see what happens. Don't get your hopes up. Without experience, you are in the back of the line, regardless of your abilities. You have a lot to prove.

Answer 9

Your screwed you will not get a walk on at a college because you have not been scouted. And you do not know playbook you are not going to get any time or even a position

Answer 10

College coaches are looking at HS players...If you didn't play in HS, your only hope is to try out, be a walk-on, and then prove to the coaches you are good enough to be a scholarship player...
