Do You Think I Have A Shot At Playing D1 Football?

Question

Im 16 years old and Im going into my sophomore year and I have already been named the starting tight end on my team. I beat out two seniors for it. I am 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. I catch the ball well. I dont really drop balls, every once in a while I have one. I block alright. I just need to get the technique down. Here are my times..

40-Yard Dash: 4.81

Short Shuttle: 4.39

3-Cone: 7.38

Vertical Leap: 31 1/2"

Broad Jump: 8-9

Bench Press Max. (1 rep): 175 (I had an elbow injury but my bench press has gone up 20 pounds in two weeks since I got cleared to lift.)

Squat Max. (1 rep): 370

What do you think?

Answer 1

well ur numbers look good but it really doesnt matter. U could be that fast and athletic but u might not be able play the game. For scout they really look at ur tape more than anything else. The numbers u have there just are there for a security blanket for scouts. U see the top player this year in high school matt barkley, he has never done drills at a combine-40, shuttle, nothing. He only the football drills and has a good tape. Thats what really matters not ur measurables.

Answer 2

I highly doubt it

Answer 3

just say your prayers and eat your vitamins  

Answer 4

like that one guy said, you need to grow an  inch and gain some weight. your squat is very good, but your bech needs a bit of help,but i give you credit because you got that injury.just make sure you make a highlight tape of your playing your jr. and sr. seasons at least.even if ou dont get any offers,you can take the juco route for a year or two or you can switch positions(becuase you have to be pretty dang tall to be tight end, around 6'4-6'7, maybe you could get away with a 6'2 or 3,iff  your good enough.)

Answer 5

In order to play tight end in D-1, you really need to be at least 6'5". So you better hope that you grow a few inches, and put on some weight because 210 pounds is not going to cut it for a pass-blocking tight end.

Answer 6

Work hard on your upper body strength and speed

Answer 7

Yeah just work man.
