I wouldn't be surprised if daddy held him back in elementary school so when he got to Byrnes high he'd be older and bigger

The claim has always been that Dad held him back

to separate him from his brother. Could be the truth,however, coming from a family where a parent decided to hold one of a set a twins back to separate them,you have to be borderline passing/failing for that to happen. Who knows,with the pull Bentley had in Spartanburg ,he "could" have actually been passing and held back.

I live around Spartanburg and I believe he was held back his 8th grade year so he would be bigger once he started playing high school ball. Point is he was as old as most college freshmen last year.
Tv just wanted something to gab about

His team is also a full light year away from Hurts' team in terms of talent and potential .

It's done a lot and for a long time

It's how Willie Varner had 20 year olds at Woodruff all those years ago.
Any parent can request that their child be held back in ES
You don't have to have Bentley pull.
My neighbor's kid doubled up on 2nd grade because she was a lot smaller than the other kids.
No I'm not a Coot, they've got enough issues to make fun of without making #### up.

He was held back, he wasn't supposed to be a high school senior last year,he is older than Hurts at Bama and the "official" excuse for holding him back was to separate him from his brother,so they wouldn't be competing for the starting job in high school. Take a reading comprehension class,it'll help you out in life !

"Who knows,with the pull Bentley had in Spartanburg ,he "could" have actually been passing and held back."
Or did I dream I read that?

Everybody knows daddy bentley did this on the regular

he'd talk parents into holding kids back a year so they'd be more physically mature.

Streeter transferred from Byrnes to Boiling Springs and is a Coot baseball commit.
