Answer 1

Every team needs a good water boy.  

Just kidding.

If you want to play and are planning to stay committed to the team by going to practice and working out to improve your skills, just try out for the team.  The coaches will assign you to a position that they feel you are best suited for.  And don't get upset if you don't play as much as you'd like either - first year players typically don't see alot of game time.

Answer 2

corner back, safety, special teams.

you may grow quite a bit between now and then too.

Answer 3

I'd say with your God-given abilities you make for a good cornerback. Aggressiveness is important. Not many have it, so be proud that you are tough. Cornerback is a position that with practice you only get better and better at it because a lot of the skills are things like footwork and timing. As a corner at your age if you have enough speed to keep outside contain, then you'll do a great job! Hope that helped!

Answer 4

You probably still have some growing to do, so the position could change.  It also depends on how big of a school you are in and how big the players are that you will be competing against.  

Since you are only in the eighth grade you still have time to try out for different positions to figure out which one you will be best at.  I would suggest to start out as a wide receiver, a corner, or a free safety.

Answer 5

you should play wide reciever and if you can play d too play cornerback thats what i played for 4 years and i loved it!

Answer 6

It all depends on your weight and your age.

Answer 7

You're short and very light.  At best I'd say CB, maybe a kick off or punt returner

Answer 8

The position for you? Punter.
