Question

Answer 1

stick 2 ur position... u could easily gain 30 lbs and play DE in college.. stick with DE

Answer 2

k u might need to look i @ middle linebacker so u dont have to do that much coverage then other linebackers do since they say ur the best hitter ull be fine and u have good speed to chase an rb vote for best answer

Answer 3

im 6ft5 246 and run a 4.9 and i play quarter back haha play qb best posistion by far  

Answer 4

UM U dont have a choice.

Answer 5

i played both and i agree that ILB is alot more cranial almost as if it's the QB of the defense so talk to your coach and see what he says

Answer 6

if you wanna play a linebacker go to outside linebacker (either strong or weak dependin if you can stop the run) they basically are standin DE's but do have responsibilties in the pass (not just rush the QB)

DE's a fun position to play idk why youd wanna change

Answer 7

wat bout safety u got good speed and height or maybe even W/R. But if you like linebacker then i suggest start gaining weight and practice hard to prove them u can play that postion

Answer 8

I'd say think about the team.  You learning a completely new position at this point with the season about to start is rather selfish of you.  Stick with the DE, tell your coach about your thoughts and be patience, maybe he'll go along with you learning the LB spot over time and your senior year could be the time to experiment and play a little of both.  Knowing and playing both could help you out in the long run going into college.
