[quote=Anonymous]That was my sophomore last year, OP.  We are late growers.  His older brother was around 5'4-5'5" Freshmen year (bigger than younger brother but also was a late Fall bday so older for the grade).  He is a 6'0" Senior now and expected to grow an inch or 2 more like my brother did in college.

My Sophomore started Freshmen year around 5'3" and rail skinny. No voice change, baby-faced.  He was 14.  He turned 15 last spring and didn't start growing until then.  He's probably 5'7" now.  Still barely (besides a wisp or so) facial hair.  No voice change. He still had baby teeth (molars) last year.  He has a lot of growing left to do.  He got some acne, hairy legs but still baby face, scrawny and his feet haven't taken off in size like his brothers did at biggest part of growth spurt.

I see many incoming Freshmen this year that are even tinier than my sons were when they started.  On their sports teams in 8th-9th grade we joked there were the 'bigs and the smalls', half the team was huge already and the other half (my son included) looked like they were 10.
