Despite his limited experience with football, "Junior," as he is nicknamed, kills it in the weight room and is working to improve his footwork. He is also working to shed some pounds for a potential future in the sport.
"I've had minimal experience," Krahn told MaxPreps. "I started in high school, but I've trained my way through, going to different camps."
