The Oviedo native who once hit a national-record 19 3-pointers in a high school game joins Kristy Curry’s Bulls for her senior season.

TAMPA, Fla., October 25, 2026 – For longtime University of South Florida basketball fans, Hannah Kohn has a familiar-sounding name.
Now competing for the Bulls' women's program, Kohn should feature a familiar-looking game.
She's a deadeye shooter, always a catch-and-quick-release away from burying another 3-pointer, a fearless offensive performer, a constant threat to terrorize an opposing defense.
It sounds a lot like her uncle, Reggie Kohn, a four-year starter at point guard (1999-2003) for the Bulls' men's program. He still holds the USF career records for most 3-pointers (252), 3-point percentage (43.1), and assists (632).
"Of course, I want to uphold the family name," said Kohn, a senior guard whose younger brother, Asa, plays basketball at the University of North Florida. "But even more than that, I want to make a name for myself, just be a good person and a good teammate and win some games."
Kohn will be one of the primary players to watch when first-year head coach Kristy Curry leads the Bulls into their season opener against Furman University on Nov. 2 at the Yuengling Center.
Kohn played the last two seasons at Clemson, where she started 24 games. Last year, she hit a game-winning 3-pointer in an upset of No. 9-ranked Duke, and that shot was named the ACC's "Nothing But Net Moment of the Year." Kohn began her college career at Chattanooga, where she ranked third nationally in 3-point shooting (46.3 percent) and was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team.
Hannah Kohn. Reggie Kohn. Asa Kohn. Quite a family, indeed.
None of this is to overlook Hannah Kohn's father, Josh, a high school coach and former professional player in Belgium who once held the UNC Asheville career record for 3-pointers (296) while scoring 1,467 points overall.
"My goodness, they certainly know how to shoot the ball in that family," said Curry, who led Alabama's program when she first had to defend the Clemson version of Hannah Kohn. "I just was real concerned about guarding Hannah because she has such a quick release. She's extremely special when it comes to shooting the basketball. When Hannah became available (in the transfer portal), it took less than one second to know we'd be very interested.
"I know she's catch-and-shoot and all of that, but I've been most impressed with her knowledge of the game, her pace, her decision-making, and just how she gets it. With every great shooter I've been around, it's always about the unrequired work, and Hannah is the same way. You don't have to teach her that. She understands that it's all about the time she's spending in the gym when nobody is watching. She's a born leader and a born competitor."
Those qualities were forged through the constant battles with her brother, plus the influence of her father and uncle, both gym rats who became head coaches.
"More so my dad because he was obviously always around, but my earliest memories are always about basketball or being in a gym somewhere," said Kohn, who has averaged 7.1 points in her 97-game college career. "I pretty much grew up in the gym because my dad and uncle coached, as did my grandpa, their dad. I was always around for the team camps, the games on weekdays, the practices. It was influential in the way of being around the game and just wanting to be like my dad and uncle."
Kohn actually began as a softball player, taking after her mother, who played softball in college. As both sports became more demanding, Kohn had to select one, and she chose basketball because of the game's faster pace.
"I always wanted to be moving," Kohn said. "I played on an AAU basketball team, met different people and different coaches, and it just went up from there. I started working harder and decided I wanted to play in college. Along the way, I realized I was pretty good at shooting the ball."
Pretty good?
At Oviedo's Hagerty High School, Kohn was a top-five 3-point shooter in the state of Florida who averaged 25 points, six assists, five rebounds, and three steals as a senior. Against Longwood Lyman in her junior season, she had a 61-point game, which included a national-record 19 made 3-pointers.
"You've heard of players getting into a 'flow state'? Well, I was definitely into a flow state that night," Kohn said. "I was just having fun, almost laughing on the court, because every shot was going in. It was crazy. It doesn't matter who you're playing against. You could be shooting against air, but you still have to make the shots.
"I had no idea it would be that big of a deal. I never had anything blow up like that, and I'm not sure I could even comprehend hitting 19 3-pointers in a game. We won. I played well. It was cool, and it's a fun thing to look back on. Obviously, people know me as a shooter, but I like to think there are other good parts of my game as well."
Bulls point guard Stefanie Ingram, once an AAU teammate of Kohn, was elated to hear about her arrival.
"She'll absolutely knock down a 3-pointer, but she can drive and find other ways to score," Ingram said. "She has the quickest release out there. She's very much a knockdown shooter. But she's not just a shooter, and that's what I really love about her."
Shooters are going to shoot, though.
And you can expect that much from Kohn.
"It's the reps, it's your mentality, it's putting in the work and putting up the most shots of everybody else you're competing against," Kohn said. "The preparation is what gives me the confidence.
"My go-to is outworking everybody. If I make it, I keep shooting. If I miss it, I keep shooting. I just want to be consistent. It's a cool thing to be at the top of a scouting report (by the opponent), and there's no doubt that I've seen all kinds of defenses. But you just keep working and keep shooting. The preparation and hard work are what make the difference."
It's a family tradition.
