 *Tucker Kraft, South Dakota State, Player News


  2022 ALL-MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: TE Tucker Kraft, South Dakota State, Jr.,...The Jackrabbit offense also was represented by two more of its top playmakers in tight end Tucker Kraft and running back Isaiah Davis. Kraft, a junior from Timber Lake was injured the season opener at Iowa, but came back for the second half of the league season to repeat on the all-MVFC First Team after catching 19 passes for 232 yards and a pair of touchdowns. - South Dakota State Football

  Tucker Kraft made it official on Monday, announcing via social media that he will enter the 2023 NFL Draft instead of returning to South Dakota State. Officially a junior, Kraft could have had two more years after this one, with the extra year granted to players due to the COVID-19 impacted 2020 season. But the 6-foot-5, 255-pound Kraft established himself as one of the top tight ends in all of college football last year, catching 65 passes for 780 yards, and despite missing most of this year's regular season with a foot injury, the Timber Lake native has been impressive enough since returning that it's clear he's capable of being the same player he was before the injury. He's been projected as a top 50 pick, which made Monday's announcement unsurprising. - Sioux Falls Argus Leader
