A member of the D1 Minnesota team, Kreager recently played on the Adidas 3SSB circuit over the summer. He is ranked as the No. 115 prospect in his grade.
"They have a great coaching staff and they've been there with me for a while recruiting me and staying in touch," Kreager said. "They have a big that plays like me and I feel like I can kind of take his role when he's graduated."
Going into his junior season, Kreager did not hold a Division I offer. However, he had since picked up interest from programs such as Drake, Nevada and Northern Iowa.
