The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame
The first and only wrestler in Citadel history to be a four-time Southern Conference champion and four-time NCAA qualifier, Odie Delaney, who wrestled at heavyweight and at the 197-pound weight class, is the program's most celebrated grappler as he earned all-America honors in 2013. Of his 125 career wins, 61 came via pin, the second most in school history. Named the 2012-13 Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year, Delaney finished seventh in the 2013 NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, and led the Bulldogs to their No. 20 national ranking. He was a three-time champion at the All-Academy Championships and was twice named The Citadel's Male Athlete of the Year. He was a member of the Charleston Police Force and was the initial responder to the Mother Emanuel AME Church massacre on June 17, 2015.
