The article refers to the player as "with his commitment became the youngest player to ever commit to play college lacrosse." The article also mentions he is already 15 (a year older than the typical 2017 - age appropriate for 2016)
Whereas he is the earliest academically (three weeks into Freshman year) I do not think he is the youngest. Surely at least one of the 2016s who have committed were not kindergarten red-shirts.

You people up in Long Island are obsessed with age. We have played against this kid many times down here in Maryland. What makes him an excellent player is not his age , it is that he has an MIAA style game with an incredible stick. It took that kid years of hard work to get that. It is not something that magically happens when you turn 15.
The difference is a great 15 year old 2017 player would normally be a good 15 year old 2016 player!
