My 2 cents
I would recommend a .223 with a heavy barrel or a .243 if that is the smallest allowed by law. The .223/5.56 is a great round with good bullets and good shot placement. The .243 will give a bit more recoil and a slightly larger margin of error for placement. You may want to look at the Rossi/TC/NEF single shot break-open's as a first firearm. Also the Single shot break-opens can grow bigger with with your young man as he grows! You can actually buy a matched set for about $300 if you look carefully with .22LR/, 20g, .223/.243 and such. A youth model will be the next gun I buy for my wife. She is about 120 pounds and a little gun shy not much but a bit. It will allow her to grow cartridges as she desires.
Hope this Helps!
