Well, i dont play defensive end(rb/wr) but i my workout buddy is a defensive end, so maybe i can help a lil bit. Im guessing your not a fat guy but rather a built guy thats got some decent agility(i.e. maybe a decent tight end physique?). My freinds on the highschool team but hes very dam god and comes form a long line of awesome college players(cousin is all time leading scorer and wideout for towson in delaware). Anyways when i started lifting with him he was in eight grade and was 150 pounds, 5'7, and he played tight end/center. He is know a sophmore and is 190 and 5'10 and is on the varsity. His diet was mainly like yours(which seems to be in decent shape) except i also had him on one cheat meal to get in about 1000 extra calories(which is realy needed to gain alot of muscle mass). He also is very fast, last time he did 40 he was a 4.9. In season i did not work with him, but his routine was MUCH like yours, basic compound lifting, some plyo and cardio work, almost exactly like yours.
When he was out of season i started working with him. I had him on compound lifts 3-4 times a week. I also had him on NO CARDIO. He didnt lose any speed during the summer at all, and while he did gain a little bit of fat he gained quite a bit of muscle and strength. He did plyo, but only once a week for agility work. Also he did some medcine ball work for abs and flexibility.
Hopefully this helps you. Oh, if you realy are having trouble gaining weight, you should figure out exactly how many calories your getting a day, and then add about 500 on that and measure your weight everyday for a week to see if theres any increase, if not, try adding 750 and so on. It could not be the training, but that your simply doing so much work that your not eating enough to continue building muscle.
