Bo Bassett opens up about his brother, Keegan Bassett
Bassett hails from Pennsylvania and is the eldest of the three brothers. His younger brother Keegan has already shown excellence in wrestling, securing titles in Greco and freestyle styles.
Keegan claimed the 41 kg Greco-Roman title at the U15 Pan American Team Trials in 2023 and secured a spot on the U15 World Team. In 2024, he won both Greco-Roman and freestyle titles at the U15 Nationals.
Speaking with Flow Wrestling, Bo Bassett shared that Keegan is constantly evolving and remains the toughest and strongest of the three brothers.
“Keegan’s the toughest of the three, and I’ll say that for sure—he’s the toughest of the three. He’s probably the strongest of the three too. He’s insanely strong at the weight that he’s at; like, he’ll, like, lift in my group sometimes—and I’m a 145, he’s 106—it’s crazy," he said. (30:54 onwards)
And I’m not weak, you know. And yeah, he’s really strong, he’s really tough, and I think that Keegan has probably the highest roof. I think that he has the most potential in front of him. You know, he’s the youngest. He’s learning to go through experiences probably before he will himself,” he added.
At the 2025 US Open Wrestling Championships, Keegan won the 45 kg freestyle title in the U17 division, securing a spot on the US world team.
