Kraus is a throwback LB that anchors the middle of the defense with physicality, instincts, and toughness. 6’0” 210 lbs. he’s got a good frame for the MLB position that is strong and well-built. Downhill and attacking style of play, filling run gaps with urgency and looking to meet ball carriers at the LOS. Love his physical toughness, he doesn’t give up ground on initial contact, brings heavy thump, is a violent finisher to the ground. Demonstrates good stack and shed ability when taking on blockers with square shoulders and strong hands. Shows good run instincts reading his keys quickly and fitting downhill without hesitation. Flashes functional coverage ability but is a run first defender. Racked up 112 total tackles (57 solo) and 14 tackles for loss as a sophomore.
