ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Fifth year senior Mason Parris, who was the NCAA heavyweight champion, is one of the 10 finalists for the prestigious Hodge Trophy presented by the WIN Magazine. This trophy is equal to football’s Heisman Trophy and given annually to the most dominant wrestler in the country based on overall record, bonus-point percentage, quality of competition, and sportsmanship.

This award is named after Oklahoma’s legendary three-time NCAA champion Dan Hodge who was never taken down in college. He then pinned 36 of 46 opponents in that three-year span.
