HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech men's basketball coach Josh Buettner announced the signing of a pair of future Huskies during the national signing day period. Ray Brau from Hibbing, Minnesota, and Will Krueger from De Pere, Wisconsin, will join the program in the fall of 2027.
 
Ray Brau is a 6-foot-8, 220-pound power forward. At Hibbing High School, he has set school records, scoring over 2,000 career points and tallying over 1,000 rebounds before beginning his senior season. He has averaged 26.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the field. Brau is a three-time All-State selection, two-time Duluth News Tribune All-Area, and three-time Lake Superior All-Conference honoree. He ranks at the top of his class with a 4.36 grade-point average and intends to major in Biomedical Engineering at Tech.
 
"Ray plays the game with an extremely high motor and is the physical presence inside that we love to have inside at Michigan Tech," Buettner said. "He is also a tremendous student and will be a great fit at Michigan Tech."
 
Will Krueger is a 6-foot-5, 186-pound shooting guard/power forward. At De Pere High School as a junior, he averaged 17.2 points, 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, and a block per game while shooting 47 percent from three and 69 percent from the field. He was named First Team All-State, the Fox River Classic Conference Player of the Year, and a unanimous choice for All-Conference First Team.
 
"Will is a great two-way player who comes from a great program and will be very versatile on both sides of the ball," added Buettner. "His upside is extremely high, and he fits our culture perfectly."
 
Tech begins the 2026-27 season this weekend in Wisconsin Dells, facing Winona State and Missouri-St. Louis.
