He detailed his commitment to the Irish, saying to On3 Sports, "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. 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.”
Koehler is also extremely talented, being listed as a Top 100 player in multiple outlets, including ESPN and On3's Industry Ranking.
Here's a scouting report on Koehler, courtesy of Jamie Shaw from On3 Sports:
"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."
