glutamine and creatine are a waste of scrill. proper diet and lots of compound movements are the answer. absolutely no machines, isolation or cable. and if gaining muscle mass is the goal then a caloric surplus with a good amount of protein is needed. at 16, i dont think more than 1.5 grams per pound is necessary. dont forget lots of veggies, carbs and water. he should grow like a weed.
three years ago i was at 170lbs and went on a 5x5 routine for 12 weeks during football. I ate everything. 8 eggs in the mourning, shakes all day, plenty of chicken breasts, tuna, london broil, salmon, veggies. (and even some unhealthy stuff like ice cream). I was taking in probably 5 or 6k cals a day, 1.5xweight of protein. I focused solely on power lifts, and lifted every monday wednesday and friday. bench went from 170x1 to 205x5, squat from 185x5 to 285x5, and power clean from 135x5 to 185x5, (also 225x1). i would bench and squat 3 days a week, and clean twice while deadlifting once. this helped me personally more than any of our coach workouts. I did have a slight problem that my back was pretty weak compared to my legs. but i got a younger friend on the 5x5 too and he grew like a rocket.

and still to this day thats the best workout ive ever done
thats all i got bro

Okay, I know your original question dealt with some supps in regards to improving a kids training for football, but I have a non-supp suggestion that I think will allow you to help him more than any supp available.
As a certified strength and conditioning coach, I'd reccomend picking up a copy of Mark Rippetoes' book "Starting Strength". It's a book that pretty much teaches someone how to teach the basic strength lifts (squats, deadlifts, cleans, benchpress, shoulder press). I guarentee that after you read this book, you'll know more about how to make a highschool kid stronger than half the highschool coaches in the country.
I'm not affiliated with this book in any way, but I do wish I'd read it myself 10 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and confusion, and I'd been able to coach myself and others a heck of a lot better earlier in my career.
I promise that this book will help out more than any amino acid or weight gainer (not to say those things aren't helpful).

DL, Squat and Bench
Lift, Eat and Sleep
That's really all there is to it. Make sure he's doing the lifts properly, eating enough and sleeping enough and the rest is just time.
