Hi,
Pulse of 60 bpm is normal for people who do sport. About blood pressure 137 is slightly elevated for his age, but it is not abnormal yet. If he is tall and not thin it is Ok.
Anyway if he doesn't have complaints, there is nothing to worry.
For being in the safe side you can check his blood pressure sometimes.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
