My son is 15 just about taller then me but we have the same head size is this normal? will he grow into it? it isnt hereditary either?

This post is confusing as you say there is no hereditary factor to his head size but he is your son with the same sized head! 80% of adult head size is present by age 9 and it matures/grows much slower through the end of puberty. I don't see this as a problem.
