Notre Dame had been waiting for its first commit in the 2025 recruiting class. Finally, that wait has come to an end.
[autotag]Brady Koehler[/autotag], a four-star power forward from Cathedral in Indianapolis, has announced that he’s committing to the Irish. He ranks 90th nationally among 2025 recruits on On3, 98th on ESPN and 114th on 247Sports, on which his composite score ranks him 14th all-time among Notre Dame commits since 2000.
When On3 asked him why he chose to play for the Irish under [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag], he said this:
“I chose Notre Dame because of the relationship that I have built with coach Shrews, coach (Ryan) 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.”
Koehler’s commitment falls in line with Shrewsberry’s desire to attract talent within the state of Indiana. This also might just be the start as five-star forward Jalen Haralson, widely considered the state’s best 2025 recruit, has the Irish as one of his final choices for a decision he’ll make Wednesday.
For now though, Irish fans can be happy with Koehler:

Koehler is a versatile 6-9 forward who can knockdown shots, start the break, and defend multiple spots defensively.

Here’s hoping this is the start of a fruitful time for Koehler in South Bend.
