Jeremiah Johnson, the winner of the Under-12 MVP award in the Division 1 Group of the Youth National Championships in Miami has found himself embroiled in an age-related dispute.
It all started in December 2022, when a picture of young Johnson with an MVP trophy, left netizens flabbergasted by the seemingly mature physical attributes he possessed – a prominent mustache and even a half-sleeve tattoo.
Apparently, at first glance, Johnson doesn’t look like your typical pre-teen athlete and appears remarkably mature for his age.
THIS KID IS REALLY ONLY 12 YEARS OLD 🤯

In a recent sit-down with Talk’R Media Network, Johnson candidly defended his case.
When questioned about the skepticism surrounding his birthdate and the whispers of disbelief among football fans, Johnson responded saying:
“I know I don’t look like my age. I mean, it doesn’t really affect me.”
Also, when asked about his mustache, Jeremiah Johnson confessed that his journey of growing facial hair began at the age of six.
“When I was six, I started growing a moustache,” he mused.
Presently, Jeremiah Johnson has solidified his position as a vital asset for the Texas Division 1 football team, serving as the team’s running back.
Despite his current successes, Johnson has a challenging road ahead before becoming eligible for the NFL draft.
