Strong start to 2025-2026 Kohler contributed 16 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 80-69 victory over Colgate.

Impact Kohler only scored double-digit points 10 times last season, but that looks like its about to change as the senior got off to an excellent start to his 2025-2026 campaign. Playing 31 minutes in a game that was a little close for comfort in East Lansing, Kohler dominated the glass with 15 boards and hit 50 percent of his shots from the field while nearly getting to the free throw line 10 times. He looks primed to explode this season.

Back-to-back double-doubles Kohler had 10 points (1-5 FG, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 76-69 exhibition loss to UConn.

Impact This double-double follows up one from earlier in exhibition play when Kohler logged 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in just 24 minutes in a victory over Bowling Green. Reports of Kohler emerging as a go-to option for the Spartans appear to be spot-on, as he's among the leading scorers and far and away the leading rebounding over a short preseason sample size. He and the Spartans will open up the regular season Monday against Colgate.

Could emerge as go-to guy Kohler could be the go-to guy for Michigan State's 2025-26 team, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The last time Kohler played, the 2025 Elite Eight against Auburn, he logged 17 points and 11 rebounds, a double-double. With another offseason to improve, it looks like that could be the catalyst for him being a go-to option. The 2024-25 NCAA season saw Kohler average 7.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 37 games (34 starts).

Logs double-double in loss Kohler ended Sunday's 70-64 loss to Auburn with 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 29 minutes.

Impact Kohler provided one of the few bright spots for Michigan State in their Elite Eight loss to Auburn, logging team-highs in both points and rebounds on efficient shooting from the floor. Sunday's game was a nice bounce back from what had been a quiet tournament for Kohler, as he averaged just 2.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game through the team's first three contests. The 6-foot-9 junior took a massive step forward for the Spartans this season, averaging 7.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while establishing himself as one of the premier rebounders in the Big Ten.
