Florida Atlantic University offensive lineman Federick Maranges, a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in biomedical science, has been named a Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete presented by BuildSubmarines.com.
Maranges, who is from Dorado, Puerto Rico, earned his undergraduate degree in biological sciences with a minor in psychology this past spring. He graduated with a 3.719 grade-point average.
“Over the last two years, I have had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Federico Maranges while in my current practice at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care,” said Jason Perry, head team physician for the FAU football team and medical director for the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Sports Medicine Program. “I have been consistently impressed with his high standards, professionalism, responsibility, judgment, and his unique leadership qualities. Federico is a leader on the offensive line, but this does not distract him from an unwavering drive to do his best in all his endeavors, he also makes great relationships with those that surround him.
“Federico has been a pleasure to have shadowing me in the clinic. He is respectful to the staff and the patients. He is always willing to help with routine tasks to help keep the clinic moving. Most impressively, he consistently strives to engage with me academically. Federico researches a topic based on a medical problem we have seen in the clinic. He has presented on topics from clinical features and physical examination of patients with lateral epicondylitis, to physiology and pathological findings and lumbar and cervical myotomes and dermatomes in patients with radiculopathy.”
