If your son has a strong interest/desire in the High School football program he still might have a shot there. I have seen kids become starters their first season with no previous FB experience based solely on their superior speed and intelligence. Much less chance for making the basketball/baseball programs.

As already said many times leave it up to your son to decide. If it were me I would angle him towards swimming/golf/track/cross. Best of luck to you both!
