    Humphrey named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Reece Humphrey, a junior on the Ohio State wrestling team, was named Big Ten co-Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. Humphrey won four matches Sunday at the Buffalo Open to capture the 133-pound division to earn his first-career weekly laurel.

    Humphrey, a junior from Indianapolis, Ind., decisioned Kevin Smith of host Buffalo, 9-5, in the championship bout. The 9-5 win over the No. 2 seed was the smallest margin of victory for Humphrey, who dominated his opponents throughout the day. He began the day with a pin of Kevin Green of Niagara in 5:50 and then followed that performance with a 25-10 technical fall over Michael Baxter of Mercyhurst College. Humphrey then faced teammate and fifth-seed Garrett Henry in the semifinals and made quick work of the rookie from Solon, Ohio, pinning Henry in 3:28 en route to the final.

    This is the Buckeyes' first Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honor since J Jaggers won Jan. 30, 2008.

    Ohio State will continue the early portion of its schedule Saturday when it travels to Raleigh, N.C., for the N.C. State Open.
