Former Oklahoma State NCAA Champion and Hodge Trophy winner, Steve Mocco, is going to be inducted into the Blair Academy Athletic Hall of Fame.

Mocco was named as a member of the 2020 Hall of Fame class, but because of the pandemic his induction last year was delayed. It will take place this weekend with the 2021 class.

We are excited to be welcoming @SteveMocco (‘01), @patsantoro1 (‘85), and Coach Tom Hutchinson to campus for their induction into the Blair Academy Athletic Hall of Fame this weekend! A well-deserved recognition for three key members of the Blair Wrestling tradition.

Mocco was a four-time NCAA finalist and a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team. He began his college career at the University of Iowa but later transferred to OSU, where he finished his tenure as the NCAA champion in 2005 and the runner-up in 2006 while OSU won consecutive NCAA team titles.

With his transfer from Iowa to Oklahoma State and his punishing style, Mocco holds a special place in the minds of Oklahoma State fans and will live in Oklahoma State lore for a very long time.
