Weston Kramer has a degree from Northern Illinois. He has a football resume that includes All-Mid-American Conference recognition in back-to-back seasons. And after four years on the field and in the classroom, he could’ve easily walked away and moved on with his life.
But as he reflected on his college career this spring, the defensive lineman realized there was something else he wanted to do before beginning his next chapter, something he couldn’t accomplish at his previous school.
That is, Kramer wanted to test himself against the best college football competition he could find.
“Coming to the Big Ten was something I wanted to do leaving NIU,” Kramer told reporters this week.
