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

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.
