Many Eastern schools used to have 150lb football(probably 170 now) but how about supporting fitness and health by limiting weight in football using a "fat test' like they do in wrestling with a 285 max (as long as it falls within the fat test)

JJ Watt is 288 and looks, uh, healthy.

Would you use a body fat test like a water displacement tub or something?
 
If you visit UChicago's athletic center you will see a picture of Jay Berwanger, the first Heisman winner. Jay looks about 147 lbs., soaking wet.
First Heisman winner and first FB player drafted by the pros but did not play at that level. I think he became a pretty good businessman and my dad knew him He had told me that Jay had a couple sons and that they were better athletes than Jay was but did not play football. According to the bio he was 195 lbs
