Dwight Ramos Brother Eli Ramos Is A Collegiate Athlete
Eli Ramos is the younger brother of professional basketball player Dwight Ramos.
Eli attended Walnut High School and was a member of the boys varsity basketball team.
After graduating high school in 2019, the 6-foot-3 guard initially committed to play for the Ateneo Blue Eagles but got transferred.
The Titan Management Group confirmed Eli’s decision to play for the Soaring Falcons following his mysterious exit from Ateneo.
Just days before the UAAP Season 84 Men’s Basketball Tournament opens on March 26, rookie Eli Ramos decided to explore his options and leave Ateneo.
He only played in preseason tournaments for the Blue Eagles, including the 2020 PCCL Championship.
Eli made this decision after consulting with his family, notably his brother Dwight, who was in town for the 2023 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
Nonetheless, his performance shines with any team he joins. Now, the only question remains: Can he surpass his older brother’s achievements?
Besides, the Ramos brothers also have a younger sister who might follow in their footsteps.

Having an elder brother who has a similar passion is a blessing. Eli, whose elder brother is a professional basketball, did not have to look far for inspiration.
Eli’s elder brother, Dwight, has always been his role model. He is always seen speaking highly of his elder brother.
“My brother’s my role model. He taught me everything I know, I talk to him every day, we’re super close and I wouldn’t be here without him,” Eli said.
“Everything I have is because of him. I’m really grateful to have a big brother like that and hopefully I can be as good as him one day but if not, I’m cool with that.”
Moreover, he also expressed his dream to watch his brother play in the World Cup, who is playing for the Philippines national team in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
