Freddie Rodriguez (Holt, Mich./Team Michigan) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for April 6-12.

Each week, TheMat.com will select an Athlete of the Week, based upon performance within wrestling for that week. The selection committee will consider any level of wrestling, from youth programs through the Senior level.

Rodriguez downed Jered Cortez of Illinois 0-1, 4-0, 4-1 to win the freestyle title at 50 kg/110.25 lbs. He beat Sam Brancale of Minnesota 2-4, 8-6, 6-0 in the Greco-Roman finals.

Rodriguez has captured four national titles over the past three weekends.
