Second day of senior picture shots. This is my brother-in-law's buddy. I got lucky and knew a guy in town to let us into the football stadium. We got quite a few shots here; in the stands, by the goal post (like here), 50 yard line marker from a ladder, the guys up on the goal post, and on some landscaping brick design. The background was either the train tracks behind this post or the street/cars/houses behind the other one.

I am planning a reshoot to work on DOF!

You mentioned that you were planning to reshoot. My suggestion would be to turn the padding on the goalpost so you can still read it, but you can take the shot looking down field. This would make it easier to keep things out of the background. Most of those pads just velcro around the post and can easily be turned around the pole.

A longer lenses (70-200) with a f2.8(ould stop it down a bit ) would help narrow the DOF and fix that back ground, lighting is hard, Pose is good but might bring the crop in a bit

Pose and lighting are good - casual is always nice. Background is a bit busy, you could either reshoot at another angle or use more DOF... if unable to reshoot... try blurring the background.
