According to Freud's Psychosexual stages of development, no. For the Oedipal complex to apply the child must enter the phallic stage of development, the age group that corresponds to this stage is 4-6 yrs old. However, if the teenage boy has unresolved issues in this stage of development, then I think Freud might be inclined to say that he has "fixated" at this stage, meaning until he resolves his issues at this stage, this teenage boy will continue to wrestle with this.
