Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Champion and NCAA Division I Champion Brock Lesnar, who retired from cage fighting after a technical knockout loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 last December, returned to his amateur wrestling roots to present Minnesota Gopher freshman Logan Storley with the 2011 Junior Hodge Trophy, awarded to the nation's best prep wrestler, at the Gophers' dual wrestling meet against Nebraska on Feb. 5, 2012, in Minneapolis. Both Storley and Lesnar are graduates of Webster High School in South Dakota and the Gophers went on to clinch a share of the Big Ten Dual Meet conference championship by a score of 26-7, including Storley's 5-2 decision over Tyler Koehn.
