Higher T men have more HGH related features (more bones, larger frame, etc) because they're connected to eachother
also increases height in puberty to highest genetic point due to this
tldr; testosterone inherently is connected to IGF-1 and HGH
Testosterone increases insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein - PubMed
Growth of the male external genitalia is primarily regulated by androgens; however, several observations suggest growth hormone (GH) or a GH dependent factor, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), might also be involved. It is hypothesized that testosterone (T) might induce the synthesis...

Effects of testosterone either alone or with IGF-I on growth of cells derived from the proliferation zone of regenerating antlers in vitro
Deer antlers are male secondary sexual characters and are the fastest growing mammalian tissue. As such, both androgens and growth factors play a majo…

Pubertal growth and final height in hypopituitary boys: a minor role of bone age at onset of puberty - PubMed
Twenty-two hypopituitary boys treated with human GH were studied longitudinally before and during puberty. Eight patients entered spontaneous puberty at a mean bone age of 12.4 +/- 1.0 (+/- SD) yr. Height velocity reached a mean peak of 6.8 cm/yr during the second year of spontaneous puberty. In...

Testosterone treatment of constitutional delay in growth and development: effect of dose on predicted versus definitive height - PubMed
The outcome of treatment in 3 groups of boys with constitutional delay in growth and development given monthly intramuscular injections of testosterone enanthate 200 mg (22 subjects) 100 mg (10 subjects) and 50 mg (12 subjects) was compared with the outcome in a control group (14 subjects)...
