I DON'T THINK SO!
Not to mention he was 25 at the time, while the role called for a high-schooler.
"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac'... HONEY!"
You mean they cast an actor in a role where they're playing a character younger than they actually are??????? Oh, the humanity!!!

I'm surprised he was that old! I thought he looked like a teen!
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
He wasn't cast as a jock, he was cast as a wannabe. And with the personal training he received from Nolte's character he learned to play football.
I didn't think he was a high-schooler, I believe he was getting on the train to go back to college.
You're also forgetting the nepotism factor - Jason is actually Streisand's son in real life (Elliot Gould is his dad).

For me the whole role worked.
Bernard was rebelling against his father by dabbling into something his father highly disapproved of (playing football). He was attending a prep school and might have been in his last year.
I completely bought him as a teenager and was surprised to learn he was 25 at the time. Some people hold onto their baby faces for a long time and it's not unusual for actors near or even past 30 to play teenagers.
