He was 25 at the time and looked every bit of it. Matt during season one was a sophomore and yet was played by a 24 year old. Most of the main students were played by 24-26 year olds. Only Landry and Julie were played by a 18 and 17 year old respectively during season one.

EDIT: Looks like JD McCoy was like 20 when he first appeared.

They may have made the age decision on the fly. I doubt a sophomore starts on varsity like that. I went to a super tiny school and that rarely happened. Also I doubt that a senior(Street) would be BFF with a sophomore.
