It's not often you see a sophomore in high school with a physique you'd expect to see from an NFL defensive tackle, but that's exactly what you get from 14-year-old Tyler Parker.
The rising sophomore out of Santa Margarita High School in California, who isn't even old enough to have his learner's permit yet, already boasts a 300-pound frame that appears to be mostly muscle.
According to his Hudl page, Parker can bench press 185 pounds 25 times, can deadlift 415 pounds, and runs a 4.9 40-yard dash, which is extraordinarily fast for a player of his size.
As a result, Parker has already earned a scholarship offer from the Arizona Wildcats, and that surely will not be the only Division I team that comes calling before it comes time for him to send in his letter of intent.
Naturally, when the college football world saw photos of Parker's Hulk-like frame at only 14 years old, they took to Twitter to express their amazement and disbelief.

As a rising sophomore in high school, Parker still has to still wait over four years until he'll have a chance to make an impact on a college football roster. That sounds like bad news for the poor high school players he'll be lining up against for the next three seasons.

Holy Crap. This kid is a beast.
Did you ever watch the based on a true story movie about Michael Oher?
I did see that. I usually only watch football when the Saints play.
Canada has football with slightly different rules than the NFL, and my dad used to take me to the games when my city's team was playing, but I never really took to it as I was more of a hockey fan until the Blue Jays came to town.
