Jake Koch brings depth, efficiency, and walk-on grit to the UNI frontcourt
Koch is a low-usage frontcourt option whose value shows up in efficiency and feel: in 2024-25 he made 5 of 8 shots and in 2025-26 he added a bucket and an assist in limited minutes, including an alley-oop feed against Bucknell. His biggest differentiator is the walk-on mentality—earned opportunity, dependable habits, and the kind of team-first approach coaches like on a roster that needs reliable, low-drama depth. He is not a high-volume stat producer, but he can fit if you want size, energy, and a ready-made role player.
