Kramme has been instrumental in WKU's recruiting efforts since his arrival on The Hill, and has been a part of five Hilltoppers drafted by NFL teams since his arrival. DeAngelo Malone was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round of the 2022 Draft and Bailey Zappe was picked in the fourth round that year by the New England Patriots, while Brodric Martin was taken by the Detroit Lions in the third round in 2023, Malachi Corley was picked by the New York Jets in the third round in 2024 and Upton Stout was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. WKU is the only non-Power Conference program to have a player selected within the first three rounds in each of the last four NFL Drafts.

Prior to his arrival at WKU, Kramme served as the Director of Recruiting for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program. While there, he served as the Pro Liaison and oversaw the execution of the team’s Pro day. He also orchestrated the signing of the top recruiting class in the SOCON (20th in FCS) for the 2020 season, which included a school-record seven three-star prospects.
Before joining the UTC staff, Kramme graduated from Georgia Southern in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management. While he was a student at Georgia Southern, Kramme worked as a Recruiting Assistant for the football team – a position he held for two years. While in that role, he identified, evaluated and collected data and video on prospects to provide direction to the coaching staff. Kramme also helped the Eagles achieve the No. 1 recruiting class in the Sun Belt in 2018.
