Nobody has officially been announced as the 2026 Dan Hodge Trophy winner yet based on information currently available online.

Here is what is known so far:

  • The most recent confirmed winner is Wyatt Hendrickson of Oklahoma State, who won the 2025 Hodge Trophy as the nation’s top college wrestler.
  • Current 2025–26 season coverage only talks about “leading contenders” and “the Hodge race,” not a finalized 2026 winner.
  • Discussion threads and social posts in March 2026 are still debating who should win (for example, some fans argue for Mitchell Mesenbrink on bonus-point dominance), which strongly suggests voting and the official announcement have not been completed or at least are not yet publicly documented.

So if you’re seeing people ask “who won the Hodge Trophy 2026,” they are likely speculating or projecting based on current rankings rather than citing an official award announcement.
