I have to imagine he has a case of gigantism, where an enlarged pituitary gland basically never stops producing growth hormone, and you grow your entire life. Symptoms also include physical weakness.

Don't people die really young from that? I remember reading about a kid that got to 7'8" and he died early 30's.

Doubtful. His brothers are all the same. If he actually had gigantism there is no way he could be a college athlete. It starts wrecking your joints at a very young age. Dude just has beanstalk genes.
