An 11-year-old aspiring physicist and "Star Wars" fan has become the youngest student ever in the history of Texas Christian University. Carson Huey-Yu graduated in May as a co-valedictorian from the Accommodated Learning Academy in Grapevine when he was still 10, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. His mother drives him to TCU in Fort Worth from their home in Southlake -- after dropping his younger brother at school -- and then spends the day on campus with him. Claretta Huey-Yu said her son, still less than 5 feet tall, needs help with his backpack. "It weighs more than he does," she said.

Carson also likes "Star Wars" movies and "Mine Craft," a video game that involves building with cubes
