He's an NFL player. While I know he was only in high school at the time, does it really surprise you?

Actually Randle El has 5 kids, none named DJ and they're all under the age of 10. He has an older brother named Curtis. It may be his kid. Otherwise this story is bogus.

i found this...
Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El's son, D.J., 16, plays for Fork Union Military Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. He has been playing the game since age 10. "I haven't worried about it at all," Mr. Randle El said. Part of the reason is the prep school itself: its academics, athletics and handling of its students. "That's why I send him there," Mr. Randle El said.
but then again, this story has it's flaws as well. oak hill academy is in mouth of wilson, not fuma.

Wikipedia wrote:Randle El is married to Jaune. The couple has five children: Eden, Ciara, Aunnna, Arynn and Alexa.
Notice it says "the couple" has 5 children. D.J. could be his son from another relationship. Just sayin'.

that explains a lot beej...
i surely hope you don't cite wikipedia as a source for your literary masterpieces at lu.
this is the real world bj...just because "the couple has 5 children" doesn't mean that dj wasn't fathered well before their union by another woman.

Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El's son, D.J., 16, plays for Fork Union Military Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. He has been playing the game since age 10.

"That's why I send him there," Mr. Randle El said.
One way to tell this is false is that FUMA is not in Mouth of Wilson... Oak Hill is in Mouth of Wilson and doesn't have a football team.
PITTSBURGH _ Pellets of salt lay scattered all over the welcome mat in the foyer of Antwaan Randle El's stately two-story brick home in the North Hills section of the Steel City. Randle El apologized for a mess only he saw.
It turns out the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver is not only fast, but fastidious, and to a fault.
"I like to keep the place real clean," Randle El said Tuesday as he plopped on a couch in a tidy living room. "I even carry around a vacuum."
Keeping his house in order means everything to Randle El, and it goes beyond sweeping and dusting.
In Randle El's mind, he is a father who happens to play football for the Steelers and a husband who refuses to be married to his job, no matter how glamorous the profession can be.
"There are three things in your life: faith in God, family and then football _ or your job or whatever," Randle El said. "But those two have to be first."
Those priorities get him home quickly on most days to take his 11-year-old son, D.J., to basketball practice. Randle El hosts a weekly radio show and appears once a week on the 5 p.m. television news, but he and his wife, Jaune, adjust the dinner hour so the family eats at the same time at the same table, a rule Randle El picked up from his parents growing up in the area of Riverdale, Ill.

Daily Progress wrote:Randle El, a 6-1, 170-pounder, has been getting a bunch of interest from programs such as Liberty and Kent State, but also could land at a BCS conference school with his father’s alma mater courting him. Antwaan Randle El, who played in the NFL from 2002-2010 with the Steelers and Redskins, was arguably the greatest player in Indiana history and the Hoosiers would be happy to see history repeat itself.
“I talked to Kent State last week and they want me to come in on an official visit and Indiana, where my dad went, I’m going to be going there for a visit soon,” D.J. Randle El said. “Some other schools — Akron, Syracuse — are all interested.”
Randle El said he’d wait until the season was over to take his visits.
