Question
hey this am a sophmore in hs and i was wondering what my GPA has to be to be able to play college football at any college, as long as i play somehwere i dont care if its a d-1 or not but i just want to play, also i weigh 186 right now and want to play Line Backer what should i weigh to play LB in college, and what should my 40 be also im 5'10 or 5'11.

Answer
Clint, hello!

Your questions will be determined by the college and their needs for your skill.  An undersized LB may not be as competitive against the 250 pound RB coming at you at the Div I level.  But, it depends on how much you improve.  I have attached a number of sites for you to explore, including the NCAA eligibility minimum requirements.  

You are at the stage where you need to have a healthy diet, great workout discipline and learn the game's rules.  You will improve naturally, so don't do anything with enhancement drugs.
