Do you think I could play College football somewhere?
I am 5'5 150 pounds. I run a 4.51 fourty with a 30 inch verticle. I bench 245 and squat 360 or close to there. Right now I play linebacker in a 4-4 defense and I play tailback in a shotgun formation ( most of the time.) I have played many different positions in my career, I've played Corner, Safety, Linebacker ,De end, and I think thats it on de then I played Wideout, Quarterback a little, fullback and Runningback. I know I won't be able to play in a D1 school or anything like that but do you think I could play maybe at ajunior college or a smaller college. Also I am a Jr in highschool.....This year at outside backer I had 73 tackles and 2 ints. 2 forced fumbles. What do you think? Any colleges U think I could go to? If so what position(s) should I play? Give your honest opinions.. no stupid stuff please.... Thanks.....
It says I'm a junior... and yes im very strong minded...Thanks for your guys oppinions too ...

What age are you?
If you are a junior or senior it may be hard to go to a big school (like you said).
If you are a freshman or sophomore you may grow an inch or two yet.
Don't fret too much, if you are as fast and strong as you say, you could go to a very good school (even D1).
Compile some video and make as many copies as you can and send them out to any and every school you would like to go to. (be realistic too)
Also go to some camps, that is how a lot of coaches make their picks, go to as many big school camps (and Nike camps) as you can.
It's not just coaches from that school that are there, they invite coaches from other schools to help coach too.
If you would like proof that a smallish back can make it in D1 look up Mike Hart, All-time leading rusher in University of Michigan history (5,040 yds.), four-year starter,most career: attempts, 100+ and 200+ yard games.
He wasn't fast, I can't remember his 40 yd time (maybe 4.5/6), but he was strong in mind, body and heart, which is what gets you to the top.

Dude hey if you can play then you can play. You just gotta follow your dreams and work hard. I understand that your small, but that doesn't stop 5'6" Darren Sproles from playing against guys like a foot taller than him. Good luck to you man

you are pretty small.
but your pretty fast and strong. espeicialy for your size.
aim for half back. i have seen 5'6" runningbacks but they werre fast as hell. thats obviously your good point
you will be good there.
as far as college, i say you have a decent chance...look at small colleges.
