What position should i play in high school freshman football?

Question

I'm 5'1 and 85 pounds right now but gaining weight but what position should i look forward too if i'm good at throwing,catching,and i have speed?

Answer 1

running back. there's people in the nfl at 5'6".  

Answer 2

i would try wide receiver. i coach 7th and 8th graders and have 2 defensive linemen over 200 lbs and 2 other at around 185 lbs. they would be hard for you to get by as a running back. my smallest running back is about 145 lbs. as a wide receiver you would be matched up against people more your size, and you would be in the open field to use your speed.

Answer 3

My suggestion would be WR or CB.

Depending on your vertical jump.

Answer 4

definatly like runningback..

if you're fast you will easily score if the quarterback

aims right and you catch it...you're petite so it's a good position

the only disadvantage is being tackled =/

Answer 5

play HB, WR, or DB. if your 40-yard dash time is fast, WR. if it's a little slower, HB or DB. it could also depend on the offense.

Answer 6

if ur a freshman in high school and ur that small u should b in the stands...my best advice 2 u would b 2 not play b/c ur only goin 2 get urself hurt...the soccer team could always use more playas

Answer 7

most short kids are running backs, and if you can catch then you could be a receiving running back to, but you couldn't block and it would be hard to dive through all the defensive linemen though with your size, but you would  be a good person to pitch it to or pass it to
