Yep, 19-years-old.
He's a physical man and they're finding that out over in Australia, don't get in his way.

Well, there are rumours that Glass is back in Derry for this weekend's club championship semi-final against current Ulster champions Slaughtneil.
The Irish News are reporting on the rumours that have reached them about Glass' return but Glen's head coach Enda Gormley wasn't giving much away.
“No comment,” Gormley said.
“Everybody wants to speculate and I’m hearing different stories, we’ll see what takes the field.
“Put it this way, if he lands at the changing rooms on Sunday I would say we’ll not chase him.”
Glen will need everything they have if they are to overcome Slaughtneil this weekend.
The current Derry champions also reached the 2017 All-Ireland club football final and it will be a tough ask to beat them but the services of Glass certainly wouldn't go a miss.
If the rumours do materialise it does sum up, in essence, the commitment levels of Glass, coming home from Australia and his professional sporting career to play at an incredibly high level of an amateur sport.
Glass may well have been booked in for a visit home anyway and his trip to Ireland just so coincides with that of an important championship match but take nothing away nonetheless.
