Question
Thom, i've read your advice and i like it. I plan on walking on to unlv in august, i run a 4.42 40, bench press 225 about 16 times. The main problems are 1. i am only 5'7" 1/2 and i havent played organized football in two years, do you think i still have a shot to walk on

Answer
Bryceton, hello and Happy New Year!

Your height will not be a negative when they see your skills and dedication.  Your speed will overtake a lot of big tigers so they'll likely have you as those type positions.  Keep up the sprints and weightlifting.  You're going to make the team with that great attitude!

Keep me posted!
