Eighth grader hangs with high school elite

But part of that game's starting lineup did not quite look as if he belonged among the future college talent. Lining up alongside these seemingly grown men was a baby-faced, a 155-pound 14-year-old named Trenton Irwin. The opposing team, as well as most observers, paid him little attention.

At least, not heading into the game.

But on the first play of the game, Irwin made a move at the line and ran a deep go route. Team B2G quarterback Marc Evans hit him in stride for a touchdown. The defensive backs weren't quite sure what to make of the kid.

Did he really just score a 40-yard touchdown on the first snap of the contest?

"He was telling me that, going against (Tee Shepard), he used three moves in the first three plays and then was like, 'I've got nothing left. I don't know what else to do to get open.' He still has to work on things like that but, I can tell you one thing, he's not going to drop any balls. We've got that part down."

"How many other guys my age can say they have played with and against players like this?" he asked. "I've read about these guys for years and I'm playing on the same team with a lot of them. A guy like Tee Shepard, he's going to Notre Dame and I'm lining up against him. I'm basically just an eighth-grader still."

Eighth grader hangs with high school elite

I got 3 things out of this article...

1- tee shepard locks down anyone, even 8th graders haha
2- this kid could be a HUGE prospect by the time 2015 rolls around
3- I bet U$C offered this kid when he was 5.

""It's definitely different being out here and being so much younger than everybody else," said Irwin, who will be a freshman this fall at Newhall (Calif.) Hall. "These are guys who have already committed to play for colleges and I haven't even taken a class in high school yet.""

I read this article and i felt an arrogance about this kid, and not in a good way either. Let him get in a real game, with real players, and lets see him get up after getting popped in the mouth.

I read that a bit differently.

To me it sounds more like he was a bit humbled. I think he knows he has a ways to go.

Anyways, sounds like he had some high praise for Tee and Deontay. Early in?
