Derrick Ramsey was born Derrick Kent Ramsey on December 23, 1956.
He grew up in Hastings, Florida and attended Hastings High School, where he won state football championships in his first two years. At the age of fifteen, he moved to live with an uncle in Camden, New Jersey and play for the Camden High School football team, which went 2–8 in his junior year and won the New Jersey state championship in his senior year.
In 1975, Ramsey became the first African-American starting quarterback in the University of Kentucky’s history. He was part of the team that won the 1976 SEC Championship and the 1976 Peach Bowl. He was first-team All-SEC and third-team All-American as quarterback in 1977 when Kentucky finished with a 10–1 record and #6 ranking in the final AP poll.
