Those early January birthdays with Kenyan athletes are awfully common. January 10, 2000 in this case, making him 24, with a 3:42 1500m pr five years ago and now he runs 3:56 for the mile (about a four second pr, equivalent to 3:38.5 1500m). I don't know where Dave is getting these guys.
I think your eligibility starts at 21 though right…so you can’t be a freshman eligibility wise at 24. Anyhow, Dave has a pretty good talent scout. Musau was certainly not expected to be a blue-chipper like this based on a 13:4x 5k/3:50 1500 where he was hugely gapped. He is seemingly already in low 3:50s/low 13s shape and responding very well to training.
