So if you’re new to football and struggling with what position you should play, below are going to be some general guidelines of where you’d fit best based on height and weight. This is specific for high school, but if you’re in middle school and you’re projected to be this big in high school- this is what I’d say to play also.

5’5-5’9 (130-165) Slot WR or DB

5’5-5’9 (170-200) Linebacker or RB

5’10-6’3+ (150-180) (athletic) Outside WR or DB

5’10-6’3 (180-225) Safety, Linebacker, RB or TE

6’0+ (250lbs+) O-Line Or D-Line
