Dan Hodge Trophy

Dan Hodge Trophy

The Dan Hodge Trophy is awarded to the outstanding college wrestler of the year.[1] The trophy is given each season to the nation's best college wrestler by W.I.N. Magazine (Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine) and Culture House. It is the wrestling equivalent to the Heisman Trophy.[1] The Hodge Trophy was created by Mike Chapman, founder of WIN magazine and Culture House, a company that produces books and posters. Chapman also wrote the 2010 biography of Hodge called "Oklahoma Shooter: The Dan Hodge Story". The first winner was T.J. Jaworsky of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995.
