Now I'm 5"11and 1 half inches 236pounds and benching 280 my forty time is around 4.9 was wondering if I'm the right type for a D1 college linebacker. i am going into 11th grade

Answer 1

I think you're big enough to make some collages.  make sure you have magazines though. learn to spell idiot

Answer 2

Size doesnt really matter to be able to play good

But for the position of linebacker i say you are OK

Maybe a little short but i think its ok

You just have to play well to make it to the nfl

If it doesnt work out at linebacker move to strong safety and then see

Answer 3

A little short, a little slow.  You're probably below average for a D1 college.

Answer 4

First of all let me say this...

YOU'RE GETTING WAY AHEAD OF YOURSELF

Focus on high school while you're in it if you're talented enough you'll most likely get noticed no need to worry about it. Work as hard as you can now to be the best that you possibly can and if it was meant to happen you'll get a scholarship and maybe even a chance to play in the NFL but it's really somewhat out of your control so focus on what you can control which is yourself and how hard you practice/play everyday.

And honestly stats really don't matter college coaches are looking for football players not weight room freaks. It really doesn't matter how much you bench or squat or anything because they have the resources to crazily improve you at the next level. Lifting stats are really one of the last things they look at when they're recruiting you it's whether or not when you step on the field on gameday if you perform or not.

Answer 5

The best way to know and to be noticed by colleges is to do the National Athletic testing System combine . You can find info on the web. just yahoo National Athletic testing System.  It is like SATs for football.

Disclaimer I have no connection with them, just my son did a combine.

Answer 6

Size doesnt matter. Its all about skill and intelligence.

Im 5'11 and 165 ilbs and i play basketball. People label me as triple threat bc i can play down low, shoot behind arc and drive the lane like a train. I played basketball every day for 5 months earlier this year. And i took off about 2 weeks of basketball yet im shooting like i was born to play.

Answer 7

Short and slow just the way I like my men!!!

Answer 8

if your the right size? please man with what your saying you should be first round pick for the NFL. I play linebacker too and im about 5'10 and im 180 pounds... i bench about 200 and my 40 was 5.2 and i am all american in highschool... go ahead and go for college ball your perfect for it and you have a really good chance of being a huge prospect... good luck and i hope to play against you one day :D
