ISU 197-pounder Kyven Gadson has been named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Week.

The redshirt sophomore defeated No. 7 Micah Burak in the ISU wrestling team’s 25-9 win against Penn in the latter half of a dual meet doubleheader on Sunday.

This is Gadson’s second Wrestler of the Week award this season. So far, only Gadson and Oklahoma’s Kendric Maple have earned the award, with Maple winning it three times.
