Question
I love football, but I have never played it in my life. Do you think I have any chance in hell to make it into any college program if I push myself hard enough. My physical attributes dont favor me as well am 5'8 160 pounds. I think the best position which suits me is a RB. If I can make it what do i got todo? and which college programs do I got a chance in.I love football just for the love of the game nothing else. I also live in asia.

Answer
Tim, hello!

I have attached some websites for you to review.  You need to contact the college of your choice to get their information on tryouts.  If you have no experience, you would likely stand a better chance of making a team like JUCO, Division III or Division II.  The major colleges have so many blue chip players with experience that it would be super tough to make their squads.

Take care,

Thom Brooks
