Ok so I am 14 my height is 5 foot 9 with a weight of 135 approx. and I have played 4 seasons as a starting Center/Right guard. I know I am a little light to play that position but I am wondering should I switch. Other positions I have played are defensive tackle and one game as a olb. I am not the fastest person my age but I am nowere near the slowest my arm isn't amazing probably accurate up to only 30 yards. My hands are about 8.5/10 balls thrown 2-4 yards any direction. so should I switch to a different position instead of Center/Right Guard of just stay with what I play? If I should switch what should I switch to?

I'm thinking I should but I am also moving up a level this year so to be the youngest center and probably the smallest is what I'm worried about there's about 150 who try out for the team
