Played in Class A football my entire high school career, played FB/LB as a freshman (JV) then transitioned to quick-guard on offensive and LB/nose-tackle on defensive for my remaining three years of mainly varsity play.
Was varsity basketball for three years; played as a SF/PF combo. Could battle down low (despite my height) but was a danger from deep!
Just to throw it out there, I was a sprinter in track too (100 & 200m) but not that great of a one. My best 100m time was a 11+ second...

Primarily QB at a mediocre 3A school. Played FS and gunner on kick off until I started at QB.
Gunner on kick off was the most fun of them all. Crush someone or get crushed.
Sort of played (caught the injury bug) QB at Juco for a year before I went to ISU.

OT and DT. By the time I was a senior I was strictly OT. Me destroying my ankle first day of lineman camp my senior year blew pretty much any chance of any real playing time my senior year - about the only way I could have hurt my ankle worse is had I broken it.
Started out as QB then moved to WR in football.
Played shooting guard in bball before quitting.
Ran the 100m, 200m, and long jump in track.
Played tennis for ***** and gigs for two years.

Started at center for a pretty good 4A team (made semifinals, 10-2 record including playoffs) my senior year, my junior year I split time at center with a man-child (he played center and DT) that got a scholarship at UNI. Graduated with Aaron Greving and Nick Rahfeldt, big-time recruits in the state at the time.
I allegedly threw the shotput my junior and senior year as well. I wresteled during my sophomore year. I had quit trying to play competitive basketball or baseball by junior high.

Hybrid WR/TE in Class A
Cross country #4 freshman/#1 soph-senior
PF hoops
800-1600-3200 in track (Looking back I have no idea how the hell I did 4x8, 3,200, 1,600, and then medley anchor or open 800 every meet)
C/P in baseball (used as an emergency 3B, 1B, and SS in three years of varsity games)

Is that you, Mike Egger? We were 3A at the time- I thought that was big moving from a 1A school...
WR & PR/KR at 4A
Could run fast if i got into green space and was taller than most. Could never figure out that dumb cover 2 so just stuck to offense.

DT through my freshman year. I quit after that because I didn't have a size advantage against upperclassmen (i.e., I didn't want to get my *** kicked in practice every day), and I sucked pretty bad. I was an awful left fielder through my freshman year, too. The only sport I stuck with was basketball, where I was a PF; I wasn't quick, but was a decent rebounder and shot pretty well, even from the outside.
That dumb cover 2 is a great run defense and I'm guessing most schools are run based that you faced. :smile:
Didn't play high school football. But started all 4 years as the varsity PG/SG and all 5 years (For those that don't know.. Iowa rules allowing 8th graders to play up) as the varsity catcher. This was for a 1A school though.
