Below we will be discussing the best positions to play based on height & weight for middle school athletes. I hope this is able to help!
Also, in 2025 we are coming out to 15 more cities for QB/WR skill camps!

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 middle school. (6-8th grade)
5’0-5’4 (90-120lbs) Slot WR or DB
5’2-5’8 (115-145) Linebacker or RB
5’6-5’10 (120-150) (athletic) Outside WR or DB
5’6-5’10(130-160) Safety, Linebacker, RB or TE
5’9-6’0+ (170lbs+) O-Line Or D-Line
For QBs, you can be probably any height but QB is very tough to start playing in high school with no experience. QB is the hardest position in all of sports- so not saying it can’t be done but make sure you give that position your respect and know how many hours/how much effort it takes to be successful.
