Re: 5\'6 too small to play college football?
I am 5'4" but I play much bigger because I have mad hops.
Anyway, I was on my way to playing D1 when this game situation came up: One time, I was involved in a critical situation. My team, the Ampipe Bulldogs were about to beat our archrival, Walnut Heights. It was very important for our town to win this game because Ampipe is a dying coal-mining town and we needed to restore some community pride and esteem through high school football. On the other hand, Walnut Heights is a snobby suburb and all the residents are accountants, doctors, and lawyers. But I digress. All Coach had to do was have Rifleman kneel on the ball and we win the game. In the alternative, I felt it would be wise if Rifleman threw me a jump ball on a flag route (I have mad hops for a 5'4" cornerback/split end). Coach called for a fullback run, up the gut. It ended right up Coach Nickerson's ass, because there was a torrential downpour and the ball was fumbled. Walnut Heights scored on a last-second play when they set up an illegal pick, then committed offensive pass interference, an illegal chop block, clipping, and the ol' high-low, all against yours truly. Despite the penalties (not called) and my efforts, I could not make up the 10" height advantage the receiver had over me and they scored. Coach decided to put the blame on the players and I stood up to him. He wouldn't let me on the team bus. So, I got drunk and threw trash on Coach Nick's lawn. I got kicked off the team, and now I have to make all the right moves to get a football scholarship. I made a few right moves and ended up playing D2 at Cal Poly Pomona ... but, there were no "scholly's" and the cheerleaders were 3 fat chicks and a midget. Don't let this happen to you. |

Your play; pathetic in my opinion.

Re: 5\'6 too small to play college football?
You'd have to be insanely fast, I think, but at the college level it could work. You'd probably need great jumping ability as well
How tall is Doug Flutie? Was he recruited by BC or did he walk on? How tall was Fred Blinknekoff (sp?) I don't think he was that fast, was he? If you can get open and have great hands... I wouldn't count on too many scholarships, but if you can prove yourself as a walk-on.... who knows? Let us know how it works out |

Re: 5\'6 too small to play college football?
I voted it depends... and it depends on if your name is Rudy... then you will get to make 1 play in your entire college career. But on the plus side you will be the subject of one of the greatest sports movies ever made.
