What American football position should I play in high school?

I’m heading into my freshman year of high school and I’m interested in playing football for my school, I’m 5”8” 317 pounds and I have quite a broad muscular build, the only other piece of information I can give you is that I can run 30m in 3.67 seconds, it’s a random distance I know but it’s all I got, thanks for the help,in advance!

    I wouldn't put you anywhere but wide receiver. Based on your height and weight, I believe that you will make a very good fit at wide receiver. You have the ideal size for a high school wide receiver.

    My best advice for you is to work hard and perform very well in practice every day. In addition, what you need to do this autumn (and every offseason) is eat healthy, exercise by doing weight lifting, and either jogging or going for a long run 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.

    By the way, your chances of playing college football depend on your performance in football, especially during your senior year of high school. If you perform very well in football during your final year of high school, you will greatly improve your chances of getting recruited to play for a college football program in the future. ©

    If you have to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet, you probably didn't make the team. In fact I'm willing to bet Cu Tie's whole salary ($280) you're just some fatboi wannabe who plays Madden in his underwear.

    *I'm going to assume that the 317 is a typo, and that you are really 137 pounds.* If this is the case, based on your height and weight, as well as your muscular build and 30-meter dash time, I believe that the best fit for you is at strong safety. You have the ideal size for a high school freshman strong safety.
