Caleb's desired Olympics weight class will drive lineup. My prediction..

He is our anchor and sacrificed this season for the betterment of next season's team. He's earned the right. Currently, Caleb will go 65 kg (143 lbs) for Olympic trials making 149 his desired weight next season as opposed to a cut from 157 to 143. Bo takes 141. 141 - Bo 149 - Hitman Next question is will Seidel outgrow 133 before next season. If he does, then a redshirt isn't out of the question next season. Seidel takes 141 the season after while Bo bumps to 149. If Seidel can wrestle 133 next season, then he has to start 133 - Seidel/Campbell The returning locks w/ no weight changes are Eddie, Sonny and Jimmy 125 - Eddie 197 - Sonny HWT - Jimmy Our other stud freshmen will take starting spots but possibly at new weights. I see Gaj/NN taking 157. Has Gaj become a must start like Seidel next season? Or will he redshirt allowing NN 157? Or do we start both and have NN attempt to bump two weight classes? Burton will start at 165 or 174. I'll project 174. 157 - Gaj/Nininger 165 - Nininger/Church 174 - Burton 184 is our most likely transfer spot unless Gage can make a big jump in terms of weight and performance. 184 - Transfer/Wright Wildcard: Will Miller reclassify? That makes our team immediately better. He would likely get to choose his weight preference (157 or 165). I'm not going to project this yet. Current guess for next year's lineup... 125 - Eddie 133 - Seidel 141 - Bo 149 - Hitman 157 - Gaj 165 - Nininger 174 - Burton 184 - Transfer 197 - Sonny HWT - Jimmy ** Edited by VTDante at 2/5/2026, 10:52:32 AM

I personally like Caleb at 149 and Bo at 141. But, if by chance Caleb did

I've been leaning Bo 149, Henson 157
Hikinghokie 02/05/26 09:03 AM ET
I think Henson wants to go 49. He will where he wants **

149 Next Year
Hokie2000x 02/05/26 09:18 AM ET
I think Henson wins wherever

Some talk about Melvin Miller reclassifying to join the Hokies

I think it has been said Bo's walking weight is 145ish.**

This is what I’ve seen as well.**

I like it BUT

If Bo decides to be a career 141, we're really going to want to keep Noah
Hikinghokie 02/05/26 08:59 AM ET
I don't think Bo is a career 141 but he's definitely a freshman 141 IMO
donjfs3 02/05/26 05:36 PM ET
Agree, Bo is disciplined
