Wow man you have some great stats. I'm a sophmore and look at my stats

Height- 5 foot 11 inches
Weight- 171
40 yard time- 5.25
Shuttle- 4.8
Max bench- 155
Max Squat- 175
Power Clean- 120

I don't know about being elite in college, but you will be a killer this year on varsity. Keep it up.

And don't worry about stats so much, the great players are the ones who have the heart and passion to do there hardest on the field. I may not be the strongest and fastest player on my team, but I am tough as ***** and I have tackled people who are twice as stronger then me.

Weight- 240 pounds
40 yard time- 4.91
Shuttle- 4.32

Max Squat- 465

If you want to play college ball, at the division 1 level, you need to put on 30-50 pounds.

An easier route, especially w/ your strength and speed would be to lose the weight you gained, get down to 185, and try and cut your 40 time to a 4.7 or 4.6.

If you're playing at a small school, you might want to send out some tapes instead of waiting for the recruiters to come to you, alot of good players get passed by that way, tell your coaches to get a hold of the coaches of some colleges you're interested in, and most importantly, lift hard during the summer and be a beast next year.
