Brandon Cramer is perhaps one of the finest student-athletes in Dayton history, playing nearly every down during his Flyer football career while maintaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average. 

A three-time Academic All-Pioneer Football League selection, Cramer received the 2006-07 UD Presidential Scholar-Athlete Award presented to the Flyers' top male student-athlete. He also earned the John L. Macbeth Memorial Scholar-Athlete Award as the football team's top student. A two-time ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America choice, Cramer has made the Pioneer League Academic Honor Roll four times. Scoring in the 99th percentile on the MCAT, he hopes to attend medical school. 

Hailing from Waterville, Ohio, he garnered All-Pioneer Football League honors twice and was named a Second Team I-AA Mid-Major All-America by The Football Gazette in 2006. Cramer has recorded 42 tackles, including two tackles for a loss, and two interceptions this season. He boasts at least one touchdown of more than 65 yards in each of the past three seasons at UD. 

A busy man on campus, Cramer is president of Dayton's chapter of Athletes in Action and a member of Alpha Epsilon Delta, a pre-health honor fraternity. He has volunteered at the Learning Enrichment Center of Dayton and at Toledo's Children Hospital. A 2007 Relay for Life team member, Cramer participated in community blood drives and UD's Christmas on Campus. 

Cramer is the fifth Flyer named an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. Mark Kasmer was the last in 2002. Cramer earned his M.D. from Ohio State in 2012 and is currently a diagnostic radiology resident at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
