He's twice as young as his peers and he'll have adjustments to make even at the best colleges. If I knew him, I would think he knows what he wants to be already, but is he ready emotionally to be without kids his own age? I'd want to know what he likes to do in his free time and with play. I'd like to know something about his personal life with his family and friends. There will be universities that want to recruit him and that will go for employers who'd want to hire him once he finishes college. He's still a child, so will he be emotionally ready for the challenges of being much younger than his peers from college? He's already experienced that at school, but life isn't as structured as high school and college education.
