What defensive position am i best for?

Question

im a sophmore and im planning on playing football for my high school team next year (junior)...im somewhere between 5'10-5'11 and i weigh somewhere around 150 and 155...and im above average strong...with average speed

Answer 1

Find a position you like and focus on that. But based on what you said, since you have average speed probably Strong Safety or Safety, depending on what kind of defense your coach runs. Trust me, I'm a DB for my high school and its a lot better than being a linebacker and getting those fat lineman in your face while trying to make a tackle.

Answer 2

Strong Safety, but you better be agressive and have a crazy passion for the game. Your pretty good size for it anyways just hit the gym and get stronger, and work hard. I'm telling you because some guy in our Varsity team was about your height and big and some guy around 5'4-5'7 wanted the position to and the small dude won it. So I'm just telling you so you can be ready next year.

Answer 3

play middle linebacker

Answer 4

find out which position you have a passion for and go for it, otherwise youll just be average in any position
