What football position should I play in high school?

Question

I have played pop warner for 5 years. I'm an incoming 9th grader. I weigh 170 lbs. I squat 185(reps) and bench 140(reps). i am also 5'9. Idk about my 40 time but not a lot of my friends are faster than me. I also have good hands and tackle very well. I am also decent at reading plays b4 the snap.

Answer 1

seems like by ur senior year you could be a decent linebacker

p.s.-if you would take a look at my question and answer it you would be greatly appreciated

Answer 2

I agree with money mike, linebacker might be best suited for you. as you say your good at at reading plays quickly, the mike (middle) is the qb of the defense, and is responsible for making the calls on D, it obviously takes natural instincts not just what a coach can teach you. keep working on your speed and strength. if you watch enough football college and pro, the best lb'ers can stuff the run and are good in pass pro. as far as your 40 time, worry more about your "football speed"- are you fast when the pads come on. good luck.
