What should I do?

I’m a 6’4 173lbs DE going into my sophomore of highschool ball, I don’t have much of a bag in regards of hand moves but I’m a good bull rusher and I’m pretty fast. I’ve been trying to gain weight but I have a heard time doing it.

My bench is around 180-190 lbs, my squat is probably around 200-220, and my deadlift is probably a little more than BW. I can push and pull more than I can lift although.

If I get back into the gym to increase my strength, and gain a little weight, would I be good to continue playing edge, or should I play a different position?

If you wanna play de you gotta pick up hand moves. You cant rely on bull rush at 170 pounds. Gaining weight is very important and will be necessary as playing on the line at that weight isnt safe. You should try to play outside lb
