Depends on your speed. I'm sure you could train up.. Just knuckle up and do it.

yes without question your big enough..
but ive played D1 football "its all about heart"
with that build D-line sounds good
how fast are you?
also how is your footwork "or you clumsy quick feet or what?"
it's close to impossible to walk on this year "unless you know the coaching staff"
you have to percipate in spring drills

You know how it is.. You've already got the strength and size.. add agility and determination and you'll have a great shot.

Everytime I feel even the least bit weak I think about that movie "Rudy" and I get stupid determined.

I played Center in HS....I would be at a D2 school right now but i stayed behind for a girl, and then she left me...so im back on the football kick. I ran a 5.6 40 in HS.......and I have fairly quick feet.

What are the age rules for NCAA?

You have five years of eligibility in your college career. Any year you participate after age 21 counts as one used year of eligibility. Since you haven't competed since high school, you should be OK.
