A dangerous WR to leave in 1-on-1 matchups, Kreykes utilizes quick feet and hip agility to win to change his direction on his routes quickly, doing a great job on improvising his routes to get open, and he can easily make acrobatic catches in difficult spots. Kreykes will have a challenge ahead in his senior season as he adjusts to a new starting QB, but he’s clearly someone that Sibley-Ocheyedan can get excited about for their offense.

Kreykes’ size and frame make him a standout, allowing him to attack balls at their high points with solid leaping ability, demonstrated by his 8’8″ broad jump. His excellent change of speeds and surprising burst catch opponents off guard, as reflected in his 4.76 40-yard dash, 4.65 shuttle, and 7.60 L-Drill. With a large route tree and a knack for getting behind defenders, Kreykes’ measurables and testing performance are sure to have coaches taking notice.

At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Kreykes offers attractive height and long arms at the position. They helped him accumulate 27 catches for 478 yards and five touchdowns in earning first-team all-district laurels. He also averaged 34.5 yards on a pair of kick returns. Kreykes ran on his school’s 4×800 team at the state track meet as a freshman last spring. He visited Iowa State this past weekend and has been invited to camp at Northwestern this summer. During his 10th-grade video highlights, Kreykes represents a matchup problem for the defense. Like other guys on this list, he shows a knack for winning contested passes with good leaping ability and strong hands.
