Is this good enough for free safety?

Question

I'm going to be a sophomore for this year and will most likely split time at free safety and be a backup for split end for JV. I'm 15 year olds, 5'9, 144 ,

These are my workouts
Bench- 115 (need to work extremely hard on this)
Deadlift- 305
Squat- 245
Hang Clean- 125
Split-jerks- 115

My 40 yard dash has been timed at 4.79 and 4.81 and one of the fastest people on my team. Can I suceed as a free safety ( My coaches might move me to cornerback because my speed will be more useful for there as I used to play that).

Answer 1

Absolutly, your weights do need a bit work. BUT free safty you need SPEED and you have it. As long as you can tackle you'll be money

Answer 2

I would play you as a cornerback, not free safety. Our varsity free safety was 6'5 200 lbs. but he was also our QB and probably best player on our team. Your easily fast enough if you can run a 4.55 thats really fast but not big enough, maybe if you were closer to 160 or 170 and increased your bench. good luck.

Answer 3

None of this matters if you have no athletic ability. If your good, fast, and can cover good, and oh yea TACKLE, then yea your good enough. Take Kevin Durant for example, he cant bench 150 lbs but he can drop in 30 points on ya! You dont need to be good in every category, just know the game

Answer 4

Definitely, just get that bench up and maybe shave off a second or two off the 40 and youll be playin college ball

Answer 5

Get your bench up more (start doing pushups) and try doing powerclean instead of hangclean as this increases fast twitch muscle fibers and will help you get more explosive and stronger
