i am still confident that it is a 1.5 year old because of the body size, he's the same size as all the smaller bucks in the area

Summer is a difficult time to age a buck. I would put him at 1.5 based on his scrawny neck but we are used to seeing deer and aging in the fall when they have a swollen neck due to the upcoming rut. Actually at this time of year he would only be 1.25 or so. I would lean toward 2.25 if he was around here.

He looks young because of the time of the year the picture was taken. Hewill probablylook much different in late October. If he is older than a yearling he will have a heavier looking body and a much thicker neck.
