First, we’d have to have some reason to believe it. Second, in general terms, heredity includes last six generations on both mother’s and father’s sides – 64 people to draw a median from. Third, genetic load carries defects, not excellences. Fourth, Maybe, he’s the low outlier.

I’ve got a question for my hereditarian friends.
A “black” man has an IQ around 100. He has 2 kids, 1 nephew, 1 niece, a grandson and grandniece with IQs over 130.
Given ideas of “regression to the mean”, how is this family explained in hereditarian terms over the 4 generations?
