Tigers Sign Sharpshooter Out of Transfer Portal
CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson women’s basketball program and head coach Shawn Poppie announced the signing of sophomore transfer student Hannah Kohn on Tuesday afternoon.
Kohn, a transfer from Chattanooga who was selected as a 2024 Southern Conference All-Freshman Team honoree, transfers to Clemson as one of the best shooters in the nation. By percentage, Kohn is the best sharpshooter in the transfer portal. Kohn is one of three players in the nation to shoot over 46% from outside last season as she went on to set a school record for best single-season three-point percentage (.463) and set a program record for most three pointers made by a freshman (68).
In the 2024 SoCon tournament, Kohn, who was selected to the All-Tournament Second Team, averaged 11 points per game, shot 61% from three-point land on 18 attempts, and averaged over three rebounds per contest.
Over the course of the 2023-24 season, Kohn played the fifth-most minutes on the team but was the third leading scorer for the Mocs at 7.6 points per game. She put up a career-high of 17 points in her collegiate debut against King University.
Prior to her time at Chattanooga, Kohn was a prolific scorer during her prep years. The Oviedo, Fla. native was named All-Area Top Ten in 2021-22 with over 2,150 career points and 117 three pointers, averaging 25 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals per contest. She was named the District 7 Player of the Year, and set the national record for most three pointers in a game with 19 en route to scoring 61 points in that same game.
POPPIE’S THOUGHTS
“Hannah is a great addition to what we are building here at Clemson. In today’s game you better be able to stretch the floor and Hannah does just that. She was the third best shooter in the country this past season as a true freshman and the best shooter coming out of the transfer portal. Her ability to make shots translates to any level. With that said, she is a tireless worker and unbelievable teammate. I’m looking forward to adding her to our Clemson family as she continues to develop on and off the court.
