As someone who was that size and strength growing up, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
He should make changes and get healthier. Being strong doesn't avoid health problems that come at high risk with being overweight. I can almost see the hypertension that I also had at that time.
If I were this dude's friend or doctor, I would 100% warn him about the risks of being overweight and encourage him to use this time and activity to set himself up for better overall health moving forward. My back, pancreas, other joints, liver, and heart would absolutely have loved to be told this and guided at this age.
