Haines, Starocci, Keckeisen, Brooks, Kerkvliet named Hodge Trophy finalists; Fans can vote now!
WIN Magazine has announced the five finalists for the 2024 WIN Magazine | Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy, presented by ASICS.
Hodge Trophy Voting Criteria:
1 – Record
2 – Dominance/Bonus-Point Percentage
3 – Quality of Competition
4 – Sportsmanship
How the Hodge Trophy Selection Process Works:
Like the Heisman Trophy, all past Hodge winners get an official Hodge Vote for each year they won the award. The additional Hodge Trophy Votes from the Hodge Trophy Voting Committee made up of national wrestling media, a retired college coach from each region, a representative of each national wrestling organization, and the Official Fan Vote on WIN’s website, which accounts for (5) Official First-Place Ballots.
