Trouble with football, can someone help?

Question

Look well I'm a high school senior and i play football for my school. The position i play is OLB, but the plays my coach runs make me play safety a good majority of the time. I weigh about 181 pounds and i am between 5'9 and 5'11. My problem is that people are simply telling me constantly i wont be able to do anything with football because of my status (181Ibs 5'11). I always thought i could at least make it into college because i had the most tackles my junior year when i played MLB. My school isn't to ginormous like Materdei, or however you spell it, but we're a D-3 school and we play teams like Trubuco, Dominguez, and Warren etc. So i was wondering if there's any hope for me playing football after high school? ( I play varsity)

Answer 1

Yes, if you play saftey, you will get more offers, if you play Linebacker, you will probably get less. This is also really weird because I am in the trinity league, we are one of the teams that do play Mater Dei. I'm over at SM.

Answer 2

i useto play high school football ...you might be a bit under sized for OLB but you got a good size for safety and corner ...Just remember that  speed kills and coaches wanna see physical players ...do that and many doors will open for you ..

Answer 3

nope, give up now. focus on something you might succeed at like working at a nail salon or something

Answer 4

If you drink alot of protein shakes before and after practice you'll get bigger and stronger which will help you alot in your pos. of olb/safety.

Answer 5

depends on the scout and if he sees if you have the talent or not
