I do not make endorsement or referrals, I can provide you with some information. Please know I do not have personal experience the following programs nor do I know these individuals. I have only seen their brochure or websites. I offer the following as a starting point for you to contact them. Additionally, I no longer answer eligibility questions as they are too fact specific and must be taken on a case by case basis, but your son's situation does have some eligibility issues.
The follow are running back coaches/trainers and clinics. (Again I have not had any personal experience with them and only offer it to you as a starting point per your request)

I do know of Velocity and have used them for myself. Again I do not endorse any particular camp/clinic or training facility but this one has a very fine reputation and has locations all over the US. They may be able to refer you to a Fullback coach. The Velocity Sports Performance programs for professional and elite athletes are designed to provide peak physical stimulus that pushes the absolute limitations of elite athletic performance. Due to the customized and maximal intensity nature, recovery and regeneration methods are implemented. Our programs place the highest emphasis on applied and measurable performance, secondarily fine-tuning movement. Timelines to reach goals and exceed expectations are accelerated for this athletic population due to the elite competitive schedules and real-time demands. Founded in 1999, Velocity Sports Performance began as the brainchild of internationally-recognized coach Loren Seagrave who developed a program to train student athletes to develop their speed, power, and agility. A five-time, NCAA Track & Field Champion coach, Coach's Seagrave's client list includes over 50 Olympic medal winners, first round NFL draft picks, and professionals from virtually every sport. Velocity Sports Performance grew from his idea that enhanced mainstream athletic training - training similar to the type received by the pros - could create better, happier, less-injury prone athletes. In creating Velocity Sports Performance, Coach Seagrave wanted to help kids improve their speed, get off the bench, and stay in the game - not just for a season, but for a lifetime.
Coach Seagrave's dream - to bring modern, effective training techniques to athletes across the country - has grown from one center in Atlanta to over 60 training centers across North America, with plans to expand internationally. Today, Loren continues to teach his methods to Velocity Sports Performance coaches across the network to ensure athletes - kids and adults alike - can experience the joys of athletic performance. Velocity Sports Performance is headquartered in Roswell, GA with its Service Center in Orange County, CA
