Ask the coaches. They can give you better advice than anyone here who has never seen you play or what the other players are on your team. The can also tell you what positions are needed for the team. If they are already have plenty of players at that position, you would have to really standout to have a chance to play. See what the needs are before you say that is the position you want to play. By talking to them, you would also be showing them that you value their advice which they like and shows them you are interested in the team.
If you went to the coach and told him you chose the position you want to play based upon what someone suggested to you on Yahoo answers, you will be running a lot of laps.
Good luck.

Urlacher was a safety before the Bears put him in the trenches at linebacker. Make the move, and maybe you can be the John Lynch ("lights out") db your team needs. You get a little more time to react, and you get the chance to bring the wood by taking on smaller WR, and having the opportunity to get a running start at running plays.
I would think there would be a reason that your coach wants to move you.
Talk to him about your concerns, but also listen to what he has to say about the potential benefits of moving you to DB.
Might just be a blessing in disguise, because you won't be getting pounded on the defensive side of the ball as much, you will have more wind when you are playing offense.

play working returned and linebacker, you will become your place over the years. and confirm which you do stay far off from soda's and to drink a lot of water so which you reside hydrated! As for the conditioning, there is in basic terms no longer lots you're able to do in a week. that is something all and sundry has to handle.

Ask your coach what position he likes you playing at. If that doesn't help do what you want to.
