Answer 1

If you already haven't, you should start hitting the weight room, working out intensely 3 or 4 times a week.

I am 5'5" but weigh 15 lbs more than you and I play cornerback.  So as a lineman, you should definately try to gain more muscle mass.  Be sure to drink a lot of water during your workouts and if you want, take whey protein with milk after your workouts.  Try to snack a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk and try not to eat too much fast foods (burgers, fried chicken, etc)

Other than the physical side of football, your attitude is most important.  You should feel pumped up and motivated to play and hit someone and mainly enjoy and love playing football.  The better you get, hopefully you start enjoying it more and wanna knock off some heads on gamedays
