Logan Stieber voted best Buckeye wrestler ever

The Ohio State Wrestling Twitter account hosted a tournament for best Buckeye ever this past weekend. Let’s take a look at the results.

The Ohio State Wrestling Twitter Championships concluded Sunday night, with a very expected result. Logan Stieber–one of only four four-time NCAA champions in history–defeated Kyle Snyder (who won three NCAA titles plus one runner-up) to win the coveted title.

The tournament itself was lots of fun, as after a few days of voting plenty of the competitors in the tournament got in the action. Whether it was some fun smack talk or just simple matchup analysis, former Buckeyes like Stieber, Snyder, Nathan Thomasello, J Jaggers, and plenty of others shared their thoughts. It was great fun and some much-needed distraction for Buckeye wrestling fans, and a great way for everyone to learn about the athletes in an awesome sport.

If you’re not already a fan of wrestling, just scroll through the @wrestlingbucks Twitter feed for the last few days. You’ll learn about a great and fun sport, and you’ll get to meet plenty of awesome past and present Buckeyes.

Two time-national champion Jaggers (Ohio State’s current assistant coach) defeated also two-time NCAA champion Tommy Rowlands in the third-place match. Kevin Randleman, Tomasello, Myles Martin, and Bo Jordan rounded out the top eight. There were a ton of fun matches along the way, including a somewhat obvious trend that recent Buckeyes overperformed, which makes sense with the voting being on Twitter. Look back through and share in the fun–and maybe we’ll get one of these again in a previously-scheduled offseason.
