That's not necessarily true in YHF's case. Probably has more to do with his son being an 8th grader trying to play up on a high school team, not to mention a 9 second 60 yd time. Sounds like the kid simply isn't ready. At that age, one year makes a huge difference.

In many cases where a player tries to play up at a higher age level, it is due to overzealous parents thinking son is at a higher level than reality. Just wait until your time. Nothing was gained by trying out for the high school team before the kid was ready.
