A high school football prospect from California has left NFL fans with their jaws on the floor.
Tyler Parker, a sophomore out of Santa Margarita High School, is 185cm and 134kg — at the age of just 14.
The teenage defensive lineman’s workout shots went viral, with stunned fans in awe at his hulking physique, The Sun reports.

Parker claims on his Hudl page that he can bench press 84kg twenty-five times and is able to dead lift 188kg.
And he’s blessed with superb speed too, clocking a 4.9 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
All this has naturally made him a target for D1 organisations, with Arizona Wildcats, Portland State, Incarnate Word and Virginia University of Lynchberg all making offers.
Parker has also been scouted by the likes of Ole Miss, Texas A&M and LSU.
And he certainly caught the eye of Ryan Vidales, a former recruiter for the University of Oregon.
Vidales wrote on Twitter: “Tyler Parker is a name that we’ll be talking about for years to come.
“I can’t remember a kid coming out of Orange County with his combination of size, speed, and athleticism at 14 YEARS OLD.
“Can’t wait to catch a game at Santa Margarita this upcoming season!”
Parker is heavier than NFL superstar Aaron Donald — despite being less than half his age.
The exciting DL talent is a wrestler during the summer, with his Twitter bio also boasting of a 3.36 GPA.
And he has another three years left to terrorise high-school teams before he’s eligible for college.
In April, he revealed that he had received his first college offer.
Parker wrote: “Blessed To receive my First Offer from The University of Arizona.”
Football fans were in awe of the 14-year-old’s stunning physique, with some questioning his real age and others excited for what the future holds.
One wrote: “Na my guy is 25 he lying.”
While one fan joked: “It’s a shame y’all don’t know how to write 41 smhhh”
Another added: “He was 14 maybe 14 years ago.”
While one said: “The Incredible Hulk at the age of 14. Barring any unforeseen reasons, whoever signs this kid should have a future superstar.”
