He began his career as an assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of California, Davis, from 1982-86, before serving as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Illinois from 1986-89.

Ramsey received his bachelor's degree in physical education from UC Davis, where he was a wide receiver and quarterback on the football team, helping his team to conference titles in 1980 and 1981. He earned his master's degree in Kinesiology and Athletic Administration from Illinois in 1988.
