Do I Have A Chance At Defensive End?

I am going into freshman football next year and think I am interested in playing defensive end. I am around 5'7" and 150 pounds. Last year was my first year and started at offensive tackle, so I have line man experience. I don't have a chance at offensive tackle next year because I will be too small, but I think I can make a deeper impact on the team as a defensive player. I am pretty strong and have muscular legs, so I think that would help out. My speed is quite good while sprinting, sometimes faster than the skill position players on my team, but quite bad when running long distances. In practice I tackled great in drills and was one of the best lineman on the team. If you don't think that I should play defensive end, what other recommendations would you make? Also I can catch decently, although am unsure of how I would do in shoulder pads when trying to catch...
