Ramirez also works out from time to time in the facilities and has a great relationship with the program and Mario Cristobal. It is a family at the University of Miami and growing up around it makes it all the more special.
Ramirez's relationship with the university is so strong that he now has the Hurricanes cannon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Even Marvel knows it’s all about the U 🙌@DannyRamirez pic.twitter.com/M3X45Q0oFH

This likely won't be Ramirez's last time around the Hurricanes facilities with an exciting new season ahead for baseball and football.
The baseball team looks like a possible contender in the ACC after its first losing season in 57 years in the early portion of the season. Those ideas won't be confirmed until they travel to take on No. 10 Florida in Gainesville for an early test in the season before a difficult ACC path.
Football now has Carson Beck who has Heisman aspiration after transferring to Coral Gables after his time playing for the Georgia Bulldogs.
