In a jaw-dropping moment that’s sending shockwaves across the college basketball universe, Michigan State Spartans guard Jaxon Kohler has officially claimed not one, but two of the sport’s most prestigious honors: the 2025 Bob Cousy Award and the Midseason Wooden Award.
That’s right — the gritty guard from East Lansing just made college basketball history.
Once considered an under-the-radar contributor for Tom Izzo’s squad, Kohler has exploded into superstardom this season, orchestrating the Spartans’ offense with the poise of a seasoned pro. His dazzling court vision, elite handles, and defensive tenacity have turned heads from coast to coast. But nobody saw this coming.
🏀 From Unsung Hero to Award-Winning Icon
Kohler didn’t just beat out the competition — he dominated. With double-doubles galore, clutch performances in Big Ten play, and a highlight reel that seems to grow longer every game, his rise has been nothing short of meteoric.
Bob Cousy Award 🥇 – Recognizing the top point guard in the nation, the award has been previously held by legends like Kemba Walker and Jameer Nelson. Now? Add Kohler’s name to that iconic list.
Midseason Wooden Award 🌲 – An exclusive honor given only to the best of the best. Kohler now stands toe-to-toe with past greats like Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, and Luka Garza.
💬 “The Nation Better Wake Up”
College hoops analysts are floored. ESPN’s Jay Bilas tweeted, “Jaxon Kohler is the most complete guard in the country right now. Period.” And social media? It’s on fire. Michigan State fans are already chanting “Kohler for Player of the Year!”
One viral post reads:
> “Jaxon Kohler is HIM. Cousy + Wooden = LEGACY MODE UNLOCKED 🔥🔥🔥”
🚀 What’s Next?
With March Madness looming, the pressure is now sky-high for Kohler and the Spartans. But if his current form is any indication, Michigan State may be headed back to the Final Four — with a potential National Championship in sight.
Whether it’s leading fast breaks, dropping dimes through traffic, or locking down top scorers, Jaxon Kohler is proving one thing:
He’s not just playing basketball. He’s rewriting the script.
