Half-back or Otherwise

Question
Dear coach, I am going to be an 8th grader next year and i want to get a tip on which position to go out for. I have played lineman since 3rd grade but i am getting too skinny for that. I am 6'0" and 155lbs and strong for my age. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Answer
    Jacob, it sounds like to me you would be a good candidate to become a tight end.  When I used to coach junior high, I likef a tall kid that was strong a physical to play that spot.  The tight end always lead the team in receptions and touchdown catches.  Tell your coach that you would like to try out for tight end. I think you might enjoy that spot.  GOOD LUCK COACH NOEL
