College career
Prior to his first season at Abilene Christian, Kohl suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a summer workout. Following surgery, he developed a bacterial blood infection in his knee. He recovered after three months, losing about 20 pounds (9 kg) during that time, and was granted a redshirt. In his first two years, Kohl received limited playing time, before entering the starting lineup in his junior season.[4] As a junior, he averaged 9.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.[5] In his senior season, Kohl earned First Team All-Southland honors and led his team to a 2021 Southland tournament title, being named to the All-Tournament Team.[6] In the first round of the 2021 NCAA tournament, he helped 14th-seeded Abilene Christian achieve a 53–52 win over third-seeded Texas.[7]
