Well, first off it doesn't matter. If you can play football you can play football. Did you ever hear of Rashaan Salaam? He won the 1994 Heisman Trophy and he played at a small school that only had an 8 man football team. Again, if you can play, you can play and schools will want you.

But there are only about 10,000 D1 football players in the country and over 1.12 million high school football players so you have to be really, really, really good.

That being said, Sarge is right. The NCAA requires that you pass 4 years of high school English and get at least decent scores on your college entrance exams (which includes English). There are a lot of very talented football players who lose out every year because they don't have the grades. You better get cracking the books.

That depends. If your jersey has cuffs on it put some rubber bands on your arms roll the jersey under so it looks like your cuffs are tighter on your arms.

If the teams jersey hangs freely you could do that still, but it would be really obvious you were compensating for being small.

You have a terribly misguided view of football. Not everyone who plays football dies young. The pre-mature deaths you usually see are big men. The bigger you are, the more the heart has to work. Add in that some of these guys may have abused there body with steriods or other drugs has aided in the early demise. Like any other person, if you abuse your body, sooner or later it comes back on you. There have been some athletes who have severe or mutliple consussions that may lead to future problems, but seldom death. Schools are doing a much better job identifing concussions and dealing with them. A very small few have been paralyzed. Any position you play may result in a concussion or sever injury, but very unlikely to be a direct result of your early death. Smaller players usually play DB. Something to think about, a DB often has to tackle larger RBs which could easily result in dislocated shoulders or broken collar bones. Your question leads me to belief you may not be tuff enough. I can't give any specific famous DBs who walked on, but surely there are some. Smaller schools have produced many great DBs and WRs for the NFL. The reason for this is that the smaller schools tend to pass more. How long they play varies. I don't think playing DB gives you a longer career. Good DBs are hard to find. Competition as well as injuries makes or breaks careers. Give it a shot. You'll never know unless you try. You don't want to spend the rest of your life regreting you did not try

Yes, I highly encourage you to join your high school freshman football team next season. Based on your height and weight, I believe that the best fit for you is at the wide receiver position. Considering your age, your height gives you the potential to become an elite high school wide receiver, who could go on to play college football.

What you need to do this (and every) offseason is eat healthy, and exercise by doing a lot of running every day. Personally, I recommend a calorie intake of 1800-2200, as well as at least one hour of running, per day. If you do these two things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful wide receiver in high school football, as well as getting recruited to play for a college football program in the future.
