You should make your own decisions and not let people who have no clue about you make them for you.. Football is a very physical demanding sport and you have to have a great desire to play the game.. It isn't titilly winks... The coach will decide where you will play based upon the talents, skills, and experience of everyone on the team, how all of you perform on the field and what specific needs the team has this coming season... Good luck....

Truth is you will probably get in. Not many people try out on the premise of being scared of failure. You would be a great Half Back but I think Wide Receiver would be best for you as you may have a height advantage in a few match ups. Ever think about being defence? I dont know how high school foot ball works do you try out for a specific position or what? Because im guessing not many people would like to be defence and I im just guessing by looking at your speed you would be a good safety and you would be fast enough to get a few interceptions. You will definately make the team either way usless your in a high school with around 6,000+ students.

Yes, I highly encourage you to join your high school football team next season. Based on your height and weight, as well as your maxes, 40-yard dash, 1-mile, and 2-mile run times, I believe that the best fit for you is at the wide receiver position. You have the ideal size for a high school freshman wide receiver.
My best advice for you is to work hard and perform very well in practice every day. In addition to running cross country and track, what you need to do this upcoming (and every) offseason is eat healthy, and exercise by doing weight lifting every day. If you do these things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful, top notch wide receiver in high school football, who could go on to play college football in the future.
