How do I make a college football team with no experience?
I am 6′1 225. Can throw the football 65 yards. And I have great accuracy. And good speed around 4.7 speed. I am a student of the game and really want nothing more but to help a college team win some games. However my problem is I haven’t played any highschool football. In my senior year i decided to try out for the team mid season and they let me on but i never had enough time to play. So how would I go about making a college football team?
Here is my advice, watch football and enjoy it. Accuracy and distance mean about jack, you have to have instinct, good decisions, and great knowledge of how a team works. I am not trying to be mean, but you have to grow into becoming a college QB (even a horrid one). Things like reading a defense, understanding the pocket, and throwing accurate when under pressure do not come naturally.
What you need to do is join in some community football, because the learning curve is way too big for you to get involved any.

You might. maybe, if you’re extremely lucky and the starter and second string and the third string QB on a junior college team got hurt you might get a chance. Honestly, so you can throw a ball 65 yards. That’s nothing great. Your lack of any real playing experience means you really have no idea on how to play football.

you don’t… football is alot more then throwing the ball.. The best passers can’t complete a pass if you don’t understand the defense you are facing.. haha if football was that easy Girls could play! BTW throwing 65 yards is not that great…. Might be good for a 13 year old Punt Pass and Kick competition though.. Thats a good place for you to start. hahahaha
hahah I guess you don’t like the answers you are getting.. you are thumbing down any answer that you don’t agree with.. hahah so far the first 3..
BTW I read your other questions asked … "Why haven’t I grown since I was 14" You said there you were 5′10 and now at 20 you are the same height??? hmmmmmmmmm does someone have an imagination??? Funny in THIS post you are 6′1 hahahah are you really that pathetic to get on here and outright lie to get attention??
another post says you are 253 lbs hahaha
another you are going to own a NFL team
another you are good enough golfer to be on the PGA tour
man!………… you have problems!!!!!!

Leo Nomellini didn’t play high school football. He was a two-time All-American tackle at the University of Minnesota, played 14 years with the San francisco 49ers, and is now in the NFL Hall of Fame.
You’ve made the team. You just haven’t had any playing time.

no one can say if your going to be good, but you definetly have what it takes physically, but how about mentally? Can you remember route patterns, footing, drop backs, pick out recievers, etc. Here it is, try practicing on your own time with your high school QB or coach. A QB has a lot of weight on their shoulders being able to remember all those plays and motions, gotta remember its a mental game too, not just a physical one….
