Help me choose a position for football!

[FootballStar92]

Hey guys! I'm gonna go into highschool pretty soon, and I want to play a position that I will dominate in.
Height: 6'0. Age:14
Weight:215 lbs
40 time: 5.64.
Bench:205
Squat:315
Power clean:165
Deadlift: I haven't maxed, but I do 5 sets of 10 reps with 180

In the past I played fullback, Defensive End, D-Tackle, and MLB. I only went in at FB when my team needed a few yards for the 1st or TD. They constantly switched me from DT to DE, depending where they were running. I played MLB when they were running down the middle a lot. I led my team in tackles and sacks.( 64 tackles / 18 sacks in 9 games.) Most of my tackles were at MLB, but all my sacks were at DE.

So, what position would I wreck in? Thanks guys!

Based on the fact that your 14 it means your size is definitely going to change in the next few years. You already have good size and strength, not the fastest 40 however. Personally i think 40's are overrated but its the universal way to measure everyone. I would say defensive end because you are going to grow, you could be 250lbs by your senior year if your 215 in 8th grade. Do not try to limit yourself to a certain position right now, as your body grows and changes it will help you find your position. You could also be a guard depending on your offensive scheme.
Middle school coaches always want to try to position players instead of letting their bodies and their skills determine where a kid will play later on in their career. I was a fullback/tight end in middle school. Freshman year i was a speed nose guard and middle linebacker. I ended up making all state on the offensive line having starts at center, guard, and tackle with my primary position being center. I also have 5 school records as a defensive end, and played defensive end in college.
Just focus on working hard, eating right, and training correctly. Time and your body/skill set will determine your position.

I think you should play the position that YOU think YOU would enjoy the most. Play the position that you think you would do well in and be motivated to get better at every day. Positions are not set in stone and plus you are too young for anything to matter other than just going out, enjoying yourself and working hard to get better.

If I was you I would play DE

[FootballStar92]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate you guys telling me what position. 3/4 posts said that I should be DE, I'm also gonna keep in mind that my body is gonna grow so me being DE can change. Anyway, thanks again

up here in canada with your stats you could play every position! But play the position YOU want to play. But you sound like you have the build to be a dominant DE, but try out TE too you could do well at that too!

MLB def

Out of curiosity, how many times have you run a 40yd dash? Has anyone instructed you on how to do it?

D-tackle or End. They both would be good for you.

[ChestDayErryDay]

Work that speed and you'd make a good DE or linebacker. No shame in getting huge and tearing it up as an interior lineman though. You're at a crossroads with your size where you could go either way and tear it up on the field.

I would say play what position feels natural. A lot of times it's about what comes easier, it sounds like DE/DT is the place to be. If you keep up with it you could be a beast at it. Keep your head up, shoulders square, and your eye on the ball big guy!
