I was wondering if I would be a good prop for rugby. Im playing on my high school team for the first time and im the 3rd biggest on the team. I weigh 160 and im 5,10-5,11. Im not fast but im strong in the chest and legs. Would I be best at prop or is there a better position for me?I was wondering if I would be a good prop for rugby.

I would say yes from what you say about yourself, but you would more then likely be in the front row
When I was your age (exact same height and weight) I was a flanker. Signed to a big club in England and they moved me to hooker because they didn't think I would get much faster. 5 years later and I'm still a hooker. Loving life in the 2nd division!!
I think either tighthead or loosehead prop will be the right decision for you.
