Although he's repeatedly declined to talk about his legacy as a collegiate wrestler, it's getting increasingly difficult to ignore what Zain Retherford has accomplished.
On Tuesday, the Penn State senior was named the WIN Magazine/Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy winner as the nation's top collegiate wrestler for the second consecutive year.
With the honor, Retherford joins David Taylor as the only two Nittany Lions to be multiple Hodge Trophy winners, and becomes the first in Penn State history to do so in back-to-back years. Only former Missouri wrestler Ben Askren and Nittany Lions' coach Cael Sanderson can say they've won the Hodge in consecutive seasons.
