I would have to say no go on the weight gainer. Sometimes my 10 year old son works out with me, and afterwords I give him some protein that I bought especially for him. I checked to make sure it was the most pure that I could get. A lot of protein powders contain creatine, glutamine, and other things they're young bodies do NOT need! My 15 yo son plays football, and I do give him protein powder, but also make sure to give him protein rich meals, also high in good carbs, such as broccoli, oats, rice, and potatoes. If he is active, he will burn these carbs quickly. Also, something I like to give my kids before either football or soccer practices and games, is a plain bagel with honey. The complex carbs take longer to burn than simple carbs (sugars, white rice and potatoes, ect..) and will fuel them for quite a while. A his age, I would feed him more healthy meals that are high in protein, and put him on a 3 day a week, lower weight, high rep weight lifting routine, and he will start to put the weight on in the form of muscle.
Talk to the football coach about this. My son's coach is training him for next year and he doesn't want my son to gain any fat even though he is only 13% right now. The coach would be the best to advise on this.
