If you can play ball, someone will pick you up. If they don't, then walk on anyway.
However, remember that only 1 in 1000 HS football players ever start on a D1 team and about 1 in 100 of those make an NFL roster. Keep your nose in the books and have a career to fall back on in case you are one of the 99,999.

5'9", 150 is not going to excite a lot of D-1A coaches, but the 4.6 might tweak some interest. The MAC is likely the top of the scale for you, given your size. But if you grow to 5'11, 180, you might start attracting lots of interest as a safety or corner.
But if you don't grow, you very likely might be a D-1AA prospect. Lots of great schools play 1AA ball, and you might get a scholarship rather than walking on somewhere. Keep up the good work in the weightroom and on the track!

Depends on what position you want to play. Biggest thing is that you gotta put on more weight. 150 way too light for D1. If you can get up to 180-190 and keep your speed, you can probably play a position in the secondary.

You need to have football skills and good grades showing you are smart to play Div I.
I know plenty of kids that have gone on to Jr College with you stats. So obviously it takes more than just the talent.

yea. if you keep up the work your bench press and speed will be higher. and if you run a 4.6 40. thats awsome. most college players dont run that at the combine. so i say its a yes
