Will height ultimately be the thing that makes or breaks me at this position? My goal is to play any type of college ball at SS, but the tallest I think I'll get is 5'9''-5'10''...What do you all think?'

If you are a solid athlete, then you will get looks. Height is more of a factor for D1 programs than D2/D3/NAIA programs. We have had solid athletes that get passed up by D1 programs becuase they don't have the physical characteristics, i.e. height, weight, etc. We have also had athletes that were average but because they were 6'5, 260, scouts wanted film on them.

Depends on the type of defense the team plays that you are on. If the use the SS more in coverage than the do in run support your height is fine. If they basically just want their SS to be another LB then you might have some problems seeing the back field. Solution study game film.
