I’m a senior going into my first year of fb. I’m 6’3 (6’4 in cleats), 290lbs right now but have experience both cutting and gaining weight will be down to ~260 by the end of training camp and will maintain that for the season because I want to play on the line. I have very quick feet and hips and a strong core from playing rugby, but my top end speed isn’t very good. I bench 240lbs and am good at leveraging my height against people taller and shorter than me. Our lineman room isn’t stacked this year, and I’m confident that I will start, seeing as our team average size on the line right now is 5’9 230 and not strong. I have overall very good sport instincts but am scared I may struggle to recognize defensive plays if I am put on the offensive line. I know I’m not fast enough to play on the edge, but I think I could thrive plugging up gaps at nose or grinding out run block reps at guard, but I really want to play tackle so I can use my quickness and mobility to my advantage, as well as because the best player in Atlantic Canada (where I’m from) plays edge and I want a chance to match him. Do you think I’d fit best at guard, tackle or nose?

I’m a sophomore WR trying to do anything to get on varsity. I’m busting my ass everyday sprinting, working out, doing field work trying my all to get on the field for varsity. I go to every scout team opportunity I can and I don’t get any varsity playing time, my teamates say I do great in scout team and I’ve even had teammates vouch for me to get playing time but it’s not translating and I’m starting to question my ability and if I even can. I’m just frustrated and don’t know what to do can someone help me out.

Back in my junior year of high school I was on varsity and our OC was terrible, especially his red zone plays they were all ass. In the middle of the season in the 3rd quarter we only had 3 points and the other team had 20. Our WR coach asked the OC on the headset “Lowkey this is so ass, do you want me to call the game instead?” 😅. Our OC got pissed and called the rest of the game. Anyone else got a similar story lol?
