MIAMI (Aug. 12, 2016) – As the FIU football team gets week number two of fall camp under way, FIUSports.com will spotlight the team's newcomers with a number of fun and interesting questions.

Each day, we will talk to multiple first-year Panthers. Today's second spotlight will feature defensive end Matthew Kramer, a 6-foot-3, 238-pound freshman from Lakeland, Florida.

If you weren't playing football, what would you be doing?
I'd probably try out for baseball (pitcher).

Who do you model your game after/who is your favorite pro-athlete?
My uncle (David Williams – offensive tackle) went to Florida and was an All-American and played in the NFL for several years.
