    Maybe. Some issues with the theory:
    • "Soccer" isn't a Skill with an Ability modifier. For all we know this could be governed by Profession (little league soccer), which would require Wisdom or Craft (goals) for Intelligence!
    • Children's stats don't necessarily coordinate to adult stats. There are no rules for it. He could have been agile for a 6-year old and never got better.
    • Eugene probably lived in a neigborhood with a lot of other wizards. That's probably as geeky a neighborhood a fanbtasy world could create. Even if Roy had slightly below average physical stats, he would be giant among men in nerdville.
    • Maybe Roy was the star because he could muscle past his opponents (Str) and never got tired runnign up and down the field (Con).
