The Griffins took a big step in 2024 and will be ready to take the next one this fall with a ton of experience on both sides of the ball. One player who is set to continue their rise is receiver Seth Kraegel Seth Kraegel 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR Gretna East | 2026 State NE , who had a breakout year in 2024 with 35 receptions for 741 yards and eight receiving touchdowns with an average of 21.2 yards per reception. Kraegel has a good feel for creating separation, displaying great start/stop ability, clean breaks, and a high understanding of how to outleverage DBs. He also knows how to identify and exploit soft spots in coverage, which is extra dangerous considering the sharp connection he has with his QB. Good fluidity in space. Great concentration through the catch process with strong hands to hold on to the ball through contact. Seth is a highly reliable receiver whom you can count on in all situations, whether you need a quick first down to continue the drive or want to take a shot at the defense— he can attack at all levels of the field. Seth also showed some flashes on defense, recording a pick-six last season and setting himself up for a bigger two-way role this fall. Seth has earned offers from Minnesota State-Mankato, Wayne State, Midland, and Dordt, with several other programs keeping tabs on the Griffin’s prospect.

Read Evaluation

Seth emerged as one of the budding young stars on the upstart Gretna East Griffins. The sophomore receiver ended his season as the team leader in receptions and receiving yards with 27 receptions for 533 receiving yards and three touchdowns, averaging an impressive 17.4 yards per reception. Seth plays with a little more seasoning to his game than most receivers his age. He really stands out with his route-running, displaying quick, shifty footwork and a good sense of where soft spots in the defense will be. There were several plays in Seth’s tape where he could exploit empty zones and make defenders bite on double moves to give himself extra room for separation. Tough player— Seth had a few receptions in which he had to battle with DBs and hold onto the ball through contact. Kraegel also displayed a nice burst after the catch and tacked some YAC after some of his receptions. Expect Seth to be a key part of the Griffin’s talented young core for the next few seasons.
