Just wanting an opinion on this little guy. I think he is a he but a little unsure.
He is 9 weeks.

No, that is a late-developing male. Look at the barring. Females can’t have pale double barring line that:

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking he was a male. But was a little unsure as I'm not really sure who his dad is. I had a Barred rock male but because he was quite aggressive I hadn't wanted to breed from him. He got moved on. I thought I had incubated eggs from my leghorn male. But maybe not. He does have a barring pattern so thought he could have thrown an imposter.

This is the Barred Rock male I had. A stunning bird, but a bit aggressive.

The parents should both be barred rocks because of the double barring

All the birds in this picture plus the circled bird look to be cockerels

Thanks for replying. I will have to wait and see if the little barred rock is aggressive like his father as would love to keep him. So hoping not.
The one you have circled is definitely a male.
