What postition should i play

Question
Im starting football on my freshman team. This will be the first year ive played and i dont know what to play;Either D-end or tight end. im 6' 175lbs and im fairly quick but im also good at laying people out. A lot of my friends have told me to go tight end because my quickness and ability to catch and gain yards. Other friends have told me to go for defensive end because my footwork and ability to hit.
If you could help me in my decision it would be much liked

Answer
  If I were you I would go out for both positions and then let the coach decide what position he wants you at.  If you are good enough you might just get to play both.  Thats what I would do if I were you.  Give it your best effort and something good will come out of it.  GOOD LUCK COACH NOEL!!
