Kollin Moore Finishes Season As Hodge Trophy Runner-up

Three-time Big Ten champion Kollin Moore finished second in the Dan Hodge Trophy voting, earning three first-place votes. He was the only Buckeye to finish the season with a perfect record, and one of just eight Division I wrestlers to do so this year.

Iowa's Spencer Lee, a two-time NCAA Champion, won the honor with 52 of a possible 56 first-place votes. Northwestern's Ryan Deakin and Stanford's Shane Griffith each received one first-place vote.

Moore was one of eight finalists for the award, presented annually to the nation's best wrestler in Division I. The trophy is named for Dan Hodge, the three-time NCAA champ (1955-57) from the University of Oklahoma who went 46-0 in his college career, recording 36 pins while never allowing a takedown.
