Answer 1

Probably defender. Left or Right Center Back, depends what foot you are, or you could be a foward, you're fast enough. Football is the World's Greatest Game!

Answer 2

I could definitely see you as a LB on defense, but not sure about 4.8 to 5.1 speed for a RB. Can you catch the ball and block well? What about some time at TE?

Answer 3

First, there is no subsitute for strength or speed. If you can enhance these too qualities it gives you an opportunity to make an impact.

Next, go out for the position you like most, but if you really want to play, let your coaches move you if necessary where you can do the team the most good.

Answer 4

You played at many different positions, and based on what you said, you strike me as someone who has a lot toughness. Maybe think about playing any position on defense except linemen but really, you should find a position you excel at and work at that.

Answer 5

Strong, fast, id say defensive end, linebacker, or fullback. If u can hit dont play running back, fullback will let you excersise your stregth more instead of avoiding hits u can provide them. Also you get to run.

Answer 6

Jake,

I think with your stats and size you will be either a strong safety/linebacker or a fullback.
