It seems as if I would be considered a student if I wanted to because I would still be "pre-college". Would I be able to take a leadership position on the team?
The only positions FIRST mandates go to students are the drive team. So if you do anything other than the drive team, you are automatically fine - it's up to your team, not FRC.

I believe in your case, you are still a pre-college student and could be the driver, but you'd have to ask FIRST to be sure.
