Footage has emerged of the triumphant moment a 12-year-old football player smashed through his rivals to score a 50-yard touchdown.

The athlete in question is Jeremiah Johnson, who you might recognise as the young teen who had people in disbelief last week.

After winning an honors at the Youth National Championships in Miami, a photo of him holding his trophy went viral as it showed he's only 12 years old – despite donning a tattoo and moustache.

Age aside, there's no denying his football skills, as shown in the clip below.

As soon as the game starts, Jeremiah grabs the ball and makes a run for it, racing past his rivals before scoring an epic touchdown, causing the crowd to go wild.

In another clip, he's seen kicking the ball across the field, only for it to be caught by a member of the other team.

But Jeremiah manages to race down the pitch in record time, taking the dude out before celebrating the hit.

After sharing the clips on Twitter, a number of people commented – although unsurprisingly their main focus is on his age.

"How incredible for those boys to be able to play with a true father figure," joked one person, while another said, "He is not 12. Lol. Some parent or sombody is lieing plain and simple."

A third added: "Dude is 20 and playing against 12 year olds because he isn't good. Slow not great movement. Just bigger and barely faster."

But not everyone was suspicious of the athlete, including this person who said: "I was 198, 5'11" with facial hair at age 12 also."

A second chimed in: "I had a friend when I was a kid who was 6ft 8 at 13 with a damn near full beard."

Last week, another clip emerged of Jeremiah showing him holding his trophy and confirming his age.

It garnered just as much attention from the online community, with many in shock over the fact that he looks like he's in his 20s.

According to Outkick, even one of his mum Shana Evans’ pals couldn't believe it, saying: "That ain’t no damn baby!!”

Beneath the video, one person simply wrote, "Hell nah," while another said, "You can’t be 12 with a Steve Harvey moustache."

A third added: "I’ve had a teammate in football that was 6 ft and he was 11 but u could clearly see he was still a kid. THIS A MAN."

"He def has a mortgage," joked a fourth.

However, one mum wrote that she'd 'remembered him on 10u' and that he'd 'had a mustache then too'.

UNILAD has contacted the Youth National Championships for comment.
