    Based on your height and weight, I believe that the best fit for you is at the wide receiver position. Considering that you are entering your freshman year of high school, your height gives you the potential to become a very elite high school wide receiver.

    What you need to do this month is eat healthy, and exercise by doing a lot of running every day. If you do these two things, you will greatly improve your chances of being successful in football this season.

    You should definitely put on some weight.

    Right now u seem like a:

    Free Safety: not afraid to tackle, enough catching ability to intercept.

    Wide Receiver: Great Catcher can take a hit really well. good elusiveness and not afraid to be touchy

    Cornerback: not afraid to be touchy. can make a tackle when needed, can intercept and are agile.

    BTW u gotta be really fast to play any of these anyway.

    if you put on about 20-30 pounds in mucsle, you can play anything except lineman in high school. try to bulk up and play safety or something. defense is the most fun

    You should ask your coach this question. He is the one that will make the ultimate decision of where & if you will play. He bases this decision upon your abilities and the needs of the team. Good luck.
