Ohio State wrestling’s Kyle Snyder named Big Ten Male Athlete of the Year for second year in a row

Kyle Snyder continues to make history, become the first-ever two-time male recipient of the Big Ten Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year award. Snyder is the only American to ever finish college as a three-time national champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and a two-time world champion.

To close out his Ohio State career, Snyder finished the season at 17-1, with his lone loss coming to Adam Coon of Michigan. Snyder was able to avenge the loss to Coon by beating him in both the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA Championships. Seven of Snyder’s wins this season came over nationally-ranked opponents.
