12-Year-Old Football Player With Tattoo And Facial Hair Leaves The Internet Stunned
The football player’s size and maturity are no doubt questionable.
The athlete has become a viral sensation after being noticed at the 2022 Youth National Championships in Miami, where he was crowned MVP. Jeremiah Johnson is praised for his skills but he’s currently in the trend after a photo of him sporting what looked like facial hair and a tattoo emerged.
Johnson is aged 12-Year-Old and he has been heard insisting it’s truly his age.
But people on social media are speculating he’s not 12, with one person writing: “Ight 1. Jeremiah Johnson is one of the most common names out there. 2. The mustache. 3. The locks w the pushed back hairline. Now I’m gonna say 22. I can be convinced on 17-21. But 12 hell naw.” Another tweeted: “Aint no f**king way this person 12.”
As per a Twitter account believed to belong to the youngster, he’s described as 5-foot-11, 198 pounds, and he’s eligible for college in 2027.
The comments went on, with a third stating: “I demand Jeremiah Johnson’s birth certificate. And not the ‘I am 12’ kind from the Benchwarmers.” The Generation NEXXT, a national youth sports school and network in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., also shared Jeremiah’s photos on Instagram, insisting he is a 12-Year-Old football player.
Still, people aren’t convinced the phenom is a pre-teen, with Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill tweeting: “If that 12-year-old really 12 my son not playing football, these kids built different.”
Shana Evans believed to be Johnson’s mom has further taken to Facebook to share a photo of him, writing: “Check my baby out. Bailing out @Nationals!!!” In another post, she cleared the air regarding his age: “Before I lay down, I just want y’all to know. My baby going viral. These folks are going in. SO. Yes, he’s on 12U (he meets ALL of the requirements. No tattoo isn’t real [duh.] Yes, the goatee is tho.”
Johnson, whose Dallas Dragons Elite Academy team won the championships game, couldn’t, however, be more happier with his trophy that read: “12U Division 1 Most Valuable Player.”
