I'm a freshman about to be a sophmore I'm going to start DB for my varsity team next year, I was wondering what camps I should attend to have the best options for division 1 colleges.

Another question how strong should I be I am 5'7 152 pounds, I bench 185x2 Squat 245x2 Clean 155 Deadlift 250

Answer
Dear Matt,
If I were you I would start attending camps ASAP. I would also stop worrying about how much you can lift. And start to concentrate on the technique needed to play your position. You will get all the technique you need in those football camps.

Try playing some basketball it is a great sport and it will help you get into football shape. All that running back and forth, and side to side is great. This will help your coordination, quickness, conditioning, and improve your foot work. This workout is especially good if you want to play, corner back, safety, or linebacker on defense.


You also might want to add handball to your workout schedule. Just like in basketball, handball forces you to run back and forth and side to side.
Handball can be of great help, to a football player, for all the same reasons as basketball.

Try playing these two sports, on regular bases, and you will get into fantastic shape. And your foot work will look great.
