CONFIRMED: Jaxon Kohler Stuns Nation by Winning 2025 Bob Cousy and Midseason Wooden Awards
EAST LANSING, MI — Michigan State Spartans guard Jaxon Kohler has officially secured his place among college basketball’s elite, achieving a jaw-dropping double milestone: winning both the 2025 Bob Cousy Award and the Midseason Wooden Award in the same season.
Known for his grit, court vision, and unshakable composure under pressure, Kohler has elevated his game to historic levels — and now the nation is taking notice. The Bob Cousy Award, named after the legendary Boston Celtics point guard, is annually given to the top point guard in the country. For Kohler to clinch that while also being named a frontrunner for the Wooden Award — college basketball’s highest individual honor — speaks volumes about his complete dominance this season.
Kohler’s stats have been eye-popping: averaging over 18 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds per game, while leading the Spartans to a top-tier Big Ten record. But more than numbers, it’s the leadership, poise, and fierce competitiveness that have made him the heartbeat of Tom Izzo’s squad.
“This is one of the most special young men I’ve ever coached,” Izzo said in a press conference. “He works like a walk-on, leads like a captain, and plays like a pro.”
Kohler’s journey hasn’t been without adversity — from battling injuries early in his college career to being overlooked by national analysts — but 2025 has become his vindication tour. With March Madness looming, Kohler has put the Spartans squarely in championship conversation.
As the hardwood heats up, all eyes are now on Jaxon Kohler — the unexpected star rewriting the script for Michigan State and chasing basketball immortality.
