Kollin Moore Named a Finalist for the Hodge Trophy, Awarded Annually to the Nation's Best Wrestler

Ohio State senior captain Kollin Moore is one of eight finalists for the 2020 Dan Hodge Trophy, awarded annually by WIN Magazine to the country’s best college wrestler. The three-time Big Ten champion won 27 matches this season and went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked wrestler in the country at 197 pounds.

Moore was the only Buckeye to finish his season undefeated, and was named the No. 1 seed at 197 pounds for the NCAA Championships that should have kicked off this week in Minneapolis.

The Hodge Trophy, often referred to as wrestling's equivalent of the Heisman, is named for Dan Hodge, the three-time NCAA champ (1955-57) from the University of Oklahoma.
