What is 一目置かれた

Aは入学当初、あまり目立つ生徒ではありませんでした。一部の男の子のあいだでは陰 で一目置かれた存在だったようです.

Somehow I don't get the meaning of the second sentence. "A" was a shy boy and respected everyone else or they respected him?

    When A entered a school, he did not specially stand out.

    一部の男の子のあいだでは陰で一目置かれた存在だったようです.
    But he was likely to be given due respect among
    some of male students(, in spite of his appearance).

    So,
    - A was not shy (just unremarkable)
    - They respected A.

    I hope it helps.
