One advantage of the Wing T (that makes it a popular offense) is that it can work without having a huge line. The misdirection of flow in the backfield can slow down LB's, just long enough to give undersized linemen that needed step to get leverage for a block. The Wing T is capable of utilizing small, quick players (which are far more abundant in high school than large players that have a legitimate shot to play at the D I college level.

On a side note, a rule of thumb on the pulling guards is: one guard pulls, it's a trap - two guards pull, it's a sweep. The trapping is also a key in slowing larger defensive lines from penetrating so deeply in an effort to disrupt the offense. FB trap and the G kicking out a DE are both very good ways to slow down the strong rush upfield.

As Harry Doyle mentioned, the use of influence blocking is growing, as a means of forcing a defense to play honestly. Then again, if the defense is stunting into the hole vacated by the influence block, a disaster can result for the offense on that play.
