Micheal Ramseur is entering his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Hampton University football program, returning to his post as offensive line coach under head coach Connell Maynor. Ramseur will also have a hand in recruiting, particularly the Virginia/North Carolina area.
Last season the Pirates finished second in passing yards per game (219.1) and third in total offense averaging 346 yards per game.  Senior lineman Johnny Cruz was named second team All-MEAC for his efforts in 2016.
In 2015, the Pirates offensive line helped the offense rush for 126.2 yards per contest and rank second in the MEAC with 352.7 yards of total offense per contest. In addition, Hampton’s offensive line went five games – including the first three – without giving up a sack.

Torrian White was a First Team All-MEAC selection, and Michael Young was named Second Team All-MEAC.

In his first season with the Pirates, Ramseur was the running backs coach, where he coached the likes of Jorrian Washington – who was a Second Team All-MEAC selection – and freshman Eric Carter Jr. Washington and Carter combined for five 100-yard performances in 2014. 

In addition, Washington ranked fourth in the MEAC in rushing, averaging almost 76 yards per game on the ground.

Ramseur served under Maynor for four years at Winston-Salem State in the same capacity. In his four seasons at WSSU, Ramseur coached three 1,000-yard running backs: Nick Cooper (in 2010 and 2011) and Maurice Lewis (2012). He also coached All-American offensive lineman Joshua Sims.

Cooper was also named an All-American.

Ramseur began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, Mars Hill College, where he served as the offensive line coach for the Lions for the past four seasons. From 2006-09, he guided the development of a number of top players including Josh Sims, who earned first team All-South Atlantic Conference honors as well as Daktronics Super Region II First Team honors as being selected to Don Hansen's Football Gazette NCAA DII All-American Honorable Mention team.

He was also a talented high school coach with seven years of experience.

As a player, Ramseur earned numerous honors as well. He earned numerous high school honors at Maiden High School including earning all-conference and all-region honors twice. He also earned a spot on the All-State team as a senior and played in the 1991 Shrine Bowl. For his efforts Ramseur earned a scholarship to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill where he helped lead the Tar Heels to a pair of bowl appearances.

After two seasons, Ramseur transferred to Mars Hill College, where he finished his career with the Lions.

Ramseur is a 1998 graduate of Mars Hill College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and a minor in Business. He is married to the former Angie Harris, and they are the proud parents of two children, Joshua (19) and Jalyn (18).
