Not two weight classes up
He doesn’t seem like a naturally strong guy. That’s not a diss by any means it just is what is. His length is also an advantage that he uses very well and up at 157 it wouldn’t be as much of one. I think he’s a 141 again next year maybe shirt after that and see what Henson does and also how Mac Church pans out.
I think Mac has a higher ceiling, but he could come in and dud out and Henson could move to 157 moving Crook to 149. We really just have to wait and see what Church and Mason look like when they arrive. Between Tom Crook, Hunter Mason, Caleb Henson, Mac Church and Clay Ulrey we are going to be fine.

Can Crook take a redshirt year to go from 141 to 157???

Freestyle makes 149 pounders pick between 143 (65kg) or 154 (70kg).

Can a wrestler erase the strength issue with a year in the weight room?

Really depends on the guy and how much time they've already spent lifting
