Brady Koehler, a four-star power forward in the 2025 class, has committed to Notre Dame and head coach Micah Shrewsberry, he told On3.

The 6-foot-9 senior out of Cathedral High School (IN) chose the Fighting Irish over a top group of Virginia Tech, Iowa, Northwestern, and Wake Forest.

Koehler is the No. 90 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 21 power forward prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Koehler on his commitment to Notre Dame

Brady Koehler went in-depth on his decision to choose Notre Dame with On3.

“I chose Notre Dame because of the relationship that I have built with coach Shrews, coach Owens, and the rest of the staff over the last year and how they are all in on me. Also, I feel like I will thrive at Notre Dame.”

What led to his trust in coach Shrewsberry?

“I trust coach Shrews because of the reputation he has with every coach in the country. Anybody I have asked about coach Shrews, they have nothing but great things to say about him and that is a coach I want to play for.”

In his own words, what type of player is Notre Dame getting in Brady Koehler?

“I think I fit their play style perfectly because of the type of motion, freedom, high-pace offense they run. It is extremely similar to my high school offense so it should be a seamless transition.”

He has a message for all Fighting Irish fans.

“Can’t wait to get to work and be a part of this program!”

Scouting Report

“Brady Koehler has great length with a thin but projectable frame. Where he makes the most noise is on the defensive end. He is an instinctive weak side shot blocker, using some twitchy athleticism and timing. He is also aggressive in the passing lanes and is comfortable toggling between both forward positions on defense. Offensively, he shows flashes. He has some pick-and-pop touch out to three and plays above the rim in transition. Koehler needs to continue adding weight to continue holding up on the block. Would like to see him adding to his offensive arsenal and continuing to become a more consistent shooter. The upside with Koehler’s game is clear and he has some useful, translatable tools to continue building upon. Defensively, there are some unique qualities in place.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
