What about a college for me?

I am 5'5, 150 pounds. I play linebacker and runningback. I bench 245, squat 355 and dead 365. I also run a 4.51 fourty right now. (used to run a 4.48 but had surgery for a torn acl and am now trying to get it down some more) Do you think that I could go some where and play college ball ? Any where ? If so where and why? I am also a pretty hard hitter and am willing to do position changes and or what ever is needed to play college ball I just love football!... If i can go. what position and possible places? Thanks....

Update:

My bad guys I'm a junior this year in highschool of course..

Update 2:

I know division one is out.. thats fine.. i dont beleive im too small its just heart... im just curious maybe what small school junior colleges or what not you know?

Update 3:

I go to a 6a school in oklahoma... I am telling the truth thats what I really do and I have a 31 inch verticle... and i have good foot work and everything and do hit hard one of the hardest on the team.. I would be willing to play corner anything.. i just got moved to linebacker cuz i hit harder then alot of guys im an out side.. and i idol Derrick Brooks lol but i will play any position!

    Are you sure your telling the truth?

    your 150 pounds and play linebacker, you claim you are a hard hitter, you bench 245, and squat 355. It's hard to believe unless your in Middle School

    Your size is going to be hard to overcome but you didn't say how old you are. 5' 5" and 150 lbs. is great if you're a freshman/sophomore, but Division I schools will tell you that you're too small. You could try some of the Division II schools possibly or maybe a junior college.

    Hm. Age? Your a little short, but I would say a smallish school might be willing to get you on the football team. Possibly a scholorship, but I doubt it. Arizona St. Maybe? Lol, I've got the same dream as you buddy. Pro's. I play QB.
