Steven Kraus, a 6’7 forward from Oldsmar Christian, has made his college decision. With offers from Erskine, University of New Orleans Loyola, Indiana University South Bend, and Franklin Pierce, Kraus decided he wanted to play at Milligan University, an NAIA school in Tennessee.

Steven Kraus on why he chose Milligan: “I chose them because they really made me feel like I was at home there. The teachers, students, and players all seemed like they really wanted me to come there. Plus, they have my major, exercise science, which really was a selling point. Also, I am going to be a big part of their team right away, which I like.

Kraus is a skilled player who played as a combo forward for the Eagles. He has the ability to stretch the defense by knocking down perimeter shots, take players off the bounce, and use his skilled post moves to finish around the basket. Steven needs to put on weight, and improve his strength to help himself become ready for college, but he will be one of the more skilled forwards for the Buffaloes, who play in the Appalachian Athletic Conference.
