During his junior year, Bruha had 5 fumble recoveries and 4 interceptions. At 6’2″ 195lbs, his size and mobility create matchup problems on both sides of the ball when running or covering routes. Its obvious that his athleticism makes it hard to take him off the field as he can make a game changing play at any moment. Bruha should make it on scouts radars soon and climb their charts as his senior year progresses.

Runge is another player that plays on Defense while contributing on offense and special teams. Runge is the epitome of a Gretna player. He is tough, smart and gives you maximum effort between the lines. Runge had 4 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries during the 2022 season.

Sunken has played quarterback and receiver on the offensive side which enhances his ability to diagnose plays to make decisive defensive decisions. His size and instincts should make him a commodity for colleges at any level.
