Ohio State names its male and female 'Athletes of the Year'
The Ohio State Athletic Department announced its 2025 Male and Female Athletes of the Year on Tuesday. Men's soccer player Michael Adedokun and All-American Makenna Webster, who plays both field hockey and women's ice hockey, were recognized in a statement released by the university.
Adedokun had one whale of a year for Ohio Sate. He made OSU men's soccer history by becoming the first Buckeye to win the MAC Hermann Trophy, the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer in 2024. He earned All-American honors by leading the team and conference with 11 goals, 11 assists, and 33 points. The team made its way to the 2024 College Cup as the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
Webster also had a fantastic year in two different sports. She led the field hockey team with 42 points in 2024. She won the 2025 Big Ten Medal of Honor winner. Webster finished the season sixth nationally in points per game and became the 11th player to record 100 career points, doing it in just three seasons. She was a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten honoree and ended the year as a Second Team All-America selection.
