My son is a smaller guy, and those guys frequently but not always bump up a weight class or more during their career.

My roommate in college wrestled 118 all four years. In the many years since, he has “balooned” up to about 135. I really hate wrestlers, lol.

And you are correct that you should have a solid idea about the academic thresholds after the unofficial visits. Ask direct and clear questions, and in my experience more often than not you will get direct answers. you need to always keep in your mind that academics are the beginning of everything in the Ivy and the NESCAC. If your guy is not in the ballpark initially, the coaches aren’t going to have the time to waste on him. The sooner everyone understands what those thresholds are, the better for everyone.
