University of Dayton standout Koby Brea, known for his exceptional accuracy from beyond the arc during the 2023-24 college basketball season, is exploring potential transfer options among five prestigious programs: Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, and UConn, as revealed to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 205 pounds, Brea, dubbed ‘Fuego’ by his mother, hails from Washington Heights, New York. His remarkable 49.8% shooting percentage from three-point range last season with the Flyers distinguishes him as a highly sought-after prospect.
With one additional year of college eligibility, Brea has ruled out several schools, including Illinois, Indiana, Baylor, and Wisconsin, from his transfer considerations. He remains in the process of deciding which institutions to visit, having engaged in Zoom discussions with coaches from the aforementioned blueblood programs. Throughout his tenure at Dayton, Brea has consistently showcased his scoring prowess, averaging 11.1 points per game while maintaining a shooting efficiency of 51.2%. Despite facing adversity, including surgery to repair stress fractures, Brea’s resilience and dedication have shone through, earning him accolades such as the Atlantic-10 sixth man of the year award.
As he navigates the transfer process, Brea’s potential impact on any team he chooses to join remains a topic of great interest within the college basketball community.
