FloWrestler Of The Week: Adam Coon, Michigan

Michigan's Adam Coon handed Olympic and world champion Kyle Snyder of Ohio State his first loss since 2015 to win a clash of the NCAA's top two heavyweights on Sunday in Ann Arbor, MI.

The #2-ranked Coon, a fifth-year UM senior, scored the only takedown of the match in the first period, and it would end up being the deciding factor against the top-ranked OSU senior. Snyder was able to get in on multiple leg attacks, but the very heavy hips of Coon kept the pound-for-pound king from scoring a takedown.

Adam Coon handing Snyder his first loss in years makes him our FloWrestler of the Week.
