Academically, Thorn was named to the National Wrestling Coaches Association Division I All-Academic Team and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors.
"Anytime you get honored amongst your peers is one of the greatest honors you can receive. Of all the great scholar-athletes to come out of the University of Minnesota, to be picked as the number one male is a great honor and a statement that shows how great his academics, athletics and character are," Minnesota head wrestling coach J Robinson said. "As a society we are looking for leaders today. When you are looking for leaders in your school, Mike has the character that will be very positive for the University of Minnesota. This is an award that he will carry for the rest of his life."
