I coach this young man in soccer. The warm up routine is pretty extensive IMHO. We begin with SMR using a tennis ball, followed by muscle activation of the glue max and min, using bridging and side leg raises, and other activation exercise for the psoas, anterior tibialis and gastrocs.
After the activation exercises we will do stability/balance exercises on one leg to work on the hip complex. We then will do dynamic flexibility and end with SAQ exercises.
I'll refer him back to his PT and see if she feels he has muscle imbalance issues.

Sounds like a good plan ... he probably needs to invest some time in the evenings doing some static stretching ... muscle grows slower than bone, so teenage boys are prone to tight muscles ... static stretching can be tremendously helpful.
