Bo Bassett recently highlighted his unwavering support towards his brother Keegan for making progress in his wrestling journey. Keegan dominated the 94 lbs wrestling category at the prestigious Fargo in July last year.
However, Keegan is now focused on increasing his weight and muscle mass to compete in the 107 lbs category for his high school team, Bishop McCort Catholic High School. Reflecting on his brother's journey so far, Bo Bassett highlighted how Keegan has been on the smaller side in terms of weight, but has now started showing the desired results because of his hard work.
Bo shared a recent video of Keegan training rigorously in the gym while expecting to achieve big things in the future.
"Shout out to my little brother, Keegan won Fargo at 94 lbs in July," Bo Bassett wrote. "He has been on a vision quest trying to put on size and muscle to wrestle 107 for our McCort team. He has been small all season but his work is paying off! Huge things coming #MiniMachineGun @keegan.bassett."
Keegan reacted to his brother's inspiring message and wrote:
"Drink your protein shakes 💯"
