People, we've got a genius!
Carson Huey-You, an 11-year-old is among the new class of undergrads at Texas Christian University – adjusting to college life, finding the right buildings, settling in for those easy core classes.
Around the time when most kids are playing with jacks and baseball cards, young Huey-You will be taking university-level courses among teenagers and young adults. And it won't just be any class load. The boy, who scored a 1770 on his SAT, speaks Mandarin Chinese and plays the piano, will be studying nothing less than quantum physics.
His mom, Claretta, says her son had intense focus as an infant. By the age of one, he could read. By five, he was doing pre-algebra. Calculus, he says, relaxes him.

If he graduates as his parents expect, in four to five years, Carson will have a college diploma before or at the same time he gets his driver’s license.
Enrolled in four classes, the whiz kid commutes to campus with his mother carrying his books as he shuttles from class to class, according to WFAA.
‘It's not like I'm leaving him here to stay in dorms and join a fraternity,’ mother Claretta Huey-You told WFAA.
Huey-You is expected to graduate when he’s 16, a full year younger than the previous youngest-ever student at TCU, according to TCU 360. He enrolled in four classes during his first semester at TCU.
‘‘I’m taking calculus, physics, history and religion. Those are my four classes,’ Huey-You told CBS DFW.
The young genius could read by age 1, and was doing pre-algebra by age 5 – he relaxes by doing algebra, according to CBS DFW.
Professors are already singing his praises.
If all goes as planned, Carson Huey-You will have his college degree before he has his driver’s license. Though impressive, he isn't the youngest-ever college student.
