Do you know what Bo weighted in at? He was significantly smaller than everyone he wrestled....and dominated them all.
He had been wrestling at 140 lbs at high school level so not surprised to hear that but can't find weight in info on flowrestling
According to FLowWrestling article:
"We got the Bo Show at 149, as the senior at Bishop McCort tore through the field, beating two ranked wrestlers, Caleb Tyus and Jaxon Joy, on his way to a title. Ohio State's Ethan Stiles, who All-Americaned at Oregon State last season before transferring to the Buckeyes, finished fourth."

Miller also beat #7 in the Finals
Are we going with the all alliteration team this year?!
They're both still in highschool so we'll have to wait a couple years
