Jeremiah Johnson, a 12-year-old running back from Fort Worth, Texas, has the internet dumbfounded over his size and maturity.
The athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him sporting what appeared to be facial hair and a tattoo surfaced on social media following the 2022 Youth National Championships over the weekend in Miami, where he was crowned MVP.
Johnson, whose Dallas Dragons Elite Academy (DEA) team won the championship game, can be seen holding the trophy that read: “12U Division 1 Most Valuable Player.”
In a separate video, Johnson can be heard claiming that he is indeed 12-years-old.
Generation NEXXT, a national youth sports school and network in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., shared photos of Johnson to Facebook and Instagram, identifying him as a 12-under football player. Nonetheless, not everyone on the internet is convinced that the phenom is a pre-teen, including one NFL pro.
