Ramos was born on September 2, 1998, inWest Covina, California, to Artemio Ramos, originally fromIlocos Sur, and Liliya Ramos, who is fromRussia. He is the eldest of three children.
Ramos started taking basketball seriously in eighth grade. He went toMater Dei High School, an athletic powerhouse where he had NBA lottery pickStanley Johnson as his teammate. Due to the commute to Mater Dei taking too much time, his grades started to slip. This led to him transferring toWalnut High School,[3] which was closer to his home.[4] He played for the Walnut Mustangs, the high school varsity basketball team then coached by Joe Khouzam.[5]
While Ramos was still in high school, he was contacted by coachesTab Baldwin andFranz Pumaren who tried to recruit him to play in the Philippines forAteneo de Manila University'sBlue Eagles andAdamson University'sSoaring Falcons respectively.[6] However he decided to forego from playing for Ateneo to continue his college basketball career in the United States.[7]

He suited up for the team in theNCAA Division I from 2016 to 2018.[5][7] He then went on to play for theBroncos ofCalifornia State Polytechnic University inPomona for one season in theNCAA Division II.[7][8]
After playing for the Cal State Pomona Broncos, Ramos went to the Philippines to play for theAteneo Blue Eagles in theUAAP but had to serve residency in 2019 before he could suit up in official UAAP games.[9] He played for Ateneo in thePhilippine Collegiate Champions League helping the team clinch the2019 league title.[7] He was expected to make his UAAP debut for the Blue Eagles inSeason 83[9] which was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. He became eligible to enter thePBA draft in 2021, but decided to forego from entering for a chance to play alongside his brother in Ateneo.[10]
Ramos decided to forgo his one year of eligibility inUAAP and he signed withToyama Grouses of the JapaneseB.League on September 10, 2021.[11] Ramos played only for the 2021–22 season with his team finishing 7th in the west conference. Toyama did not renew his contract.[12][13]
