Getting to this point has been a journey and a half for Eastern Michigan star, Jose Ramirez. Starting off as a three-star recruit, Ramirez committed to play for the Arizona Wildcats. After not appearing in any games as a freshman in the 2017 season, Ramirez took the JUCO route, transferring to Riverside City Community College.
At Riverside City CC, Ramirez dominated. He accounted for 44 tackles, eight sacks, and added a forced fumble. After just one year, Ramirez made the jump back to the FBS level and landed in Ypsilanti. In his first year at EMU, he appeared in just four games.
