Coachld. Yes, he is working on strength training, both individually, with the team, as well as through a fitness class he is taking. 

I would recommend working with a track and field coach. He should of course also lift weights but a track and field coach can probably help you the most.

My 2021 has been working with a track coach. The coach has worked with NFL guys. Not sure how much it will help his 60 time, but lots of training and core exercises are helping his overall strength and speed. Anybody in Los Angeles that would like his contact information let me know.

Awesome! I always ask because far too many young athletes and parents think that speed training alone is the key to improving 40 or 60 times. The more force that an athlete can apply into the ground plays a significant role in speed improvements. If you have video of him sprinting, please post or send me a PM. Will help me point you in right direction in terms of online resources. Will also check with couple of people about possible options In your area.

Sent you a PM LBMOM2021, hope it helps!

What you want is a pure running coach.  When you interview prospects, ask how they go about their business.  They should be measuring and evaluating things like stride length, whether strides are or are not on line, arm swings, body angle/attitude, as well as general conditioning and repetition of sound concepts.

It has been our experience that while most of us lack the genetics to become world-class sprinters, almost everyone can become faster than they are today with proper instruction and effort.  I don't know anyone up your way, unfortunately, but hope this helps you to know when you've found the right guy.
