Concerned about my height

2017-07-21 23:08:10
I just turned 17 on July 9th. I am currently 5'9 I want to know if there's more I can do to grow. I really don't think my growth spurt actually activated. This is my senior year and I play football and a lot of colleges look for height at my position so I was wondering if there is anything I can do to grow more. Like any supplements, vitamins?

You might grow one or two inches more till you reach 25 . Other wise 5 ,9 is not bad at all. Don't know if any supplements actually work.
