Kyle Snyder lettered and captained the Buckeyes during the four seasons he competed at Ohio State from 2015-18.

He was the runner-up at 197 pounds in 2015.
Snyder became the youngest world champion and winner of Olympic Gold in U.S. history, claiming the Olympic title for the United States in 2016. He added a silver medal in 2020 and recently qualified for the 2024 Games in Paris. Snyder also is the youngest wrestler ever to win the world, NCAA and Olympic championships in the same year - a triple crown of American wrestling not accomplished in a generation until he completed his sweep at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The three-time All-Big Ten and league heavyweight champion (2016-18) went undefeated in both 2016 (11-0) and 2017 (17-0) while compiling a collegiate record of 75-5. A two-time Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year (2016-17), Snyder was the Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient in 2018.
Internationally, Snyder owns 42 international wrestling competition medals, with 30 gold, six silver and six bronze.
