Anyone have any experience with a pullet maturing faster than the rest. She or at least I think it's a she has no wattles, no shanks, and no crowing but her comb is definitely more than a pale pink, especially compared to the others. The comb started changing about a week and a half ago. For reference she is 8 weeks tomorrow and some olive egger hybrid and was supposed to be sexed .

It appears you have a little cockerel there. The comb is pretty pronounced for 8 weeks but the splotchy coloring, along with the dark red on it's wings/shoulders means it's almost certainly a male.

At 8 weeks, that looks like a cockerel to me. But I'm very new and I seem to get eggers wrong often, so definitely wait for someone with more experience to chime in, haha.

I would normally agree however but this point the wattles usually show up and still nothing nor any other behavior that would make me think baby roo. Every time I say roo. I change my mind

A lot depends on what breeds were used to create that variety of hybrid. Some characteristics (physical/behavioral) may become evident much sooner than others and some may take more time. Give it a few more weeks and I'd say it'll become much clearer. Overall I'm very confident that bird is a cockerel.

100% cockerel. That rusty red color and pattern it is developing is male-specific and often seen in EEs, and that comb is very large for an 8-week-old pea-combed bird.
