Answer 4

well im a 5'4 125 pound running back myself. last year was my freshman year and i got rookie of the year. i started 4 games and had 4 touchdowns and around 350 rushing yards. im also really fast, but im also the second fastest kid on the football team for both JV and Varsity. i would take a shot a running back. you just need to be able to read the holes and hit the jets once you see an opening  

Answer 5

Answer 8

You could go for running back. When i played, my teammate was even shorter than you, but he had mad skills. I was the same height as you but i weighed  25 lbs more my freshman year, and i played as a wide receiver so maybe you go for that position since you got the speed and the cut. You gotta have good hands no matter what position though,because you don't want to be dropping whether it is a handoff or a pass.

Be a WR man i think you'll have more fun.  

Answer 9

Well, i think you need some more weight... Running Backs, sure they need speed, but a key thing for a running back is Power. On my JV team, our running backs are ones where if you are in their way, ou go down hard. You sound perfect for receiver due to speed, maybe a good kick returner, by i wouldn't say Running Back.

But that's just my opinion.

Good Luck!

Answer 10

yep i'm about your size and play running back

just make sure u have power with speed

Answer 11

125 is ok for a freshman you will gain anywhere from 50 to 75 lbs in high school. Your size is not an issue. keep training hard. Now is the time to start weight training. implement more red meat, carbs and Milk into your diet now and I assure you your size will increase. Play RB now by your senior year you could line up a split occasionally.  

Answer 12

Thats not small for a freshman RB to normal freshman But to me yeah i am 6'2'' 186lbs but dude u tataly play RB no problem man no worry for u.
