Mike,
I truly think that is why the OP kid is having issues. Early load or ‘coil’. jmo.

Mike,

he starts closed and coils as he goes forward. you think that a closed stance is a coil? Nimo.
His barrel path wasn't bad. Maybe he's just missing the ball. Split it in the middle or aim for the top of the ball might fix his issue. We're trying to major surgery on the poor kid when a band aid will work. I have a gut feeling he is coiling the wrong way but I'd need more information to be sure.
If he's decided on HLP way of hitting . He's already decided to coil...... HLP includes coiling around the rear leg, it's not an option. If you want to load the front foot and rotate from the core, by all means go ahead but that's not HLP
his body pushes forward out of posture to swing. He’s using his legs way too much.
Mike, this is correct !! If folks would just recognize the difference in patterns before advising.
I agree with this initial assessment.He’s coming out of posture. that’s why he under everything. Try staying tall during load and getting smaller at stride. a simple weight shift to the back foot is all the load really is. coiling before stride etc usually causes problems.
edit: if that doesn’t work I would get the pelvis to advance a bit sooner during stride to create a middle stretch
