Ralph attended Whitworth University in Spokane Washington where he had the 2 most prolific pass receiving season in Northwest small college history. Ralph was also a two-time All-American wide receiver, who would later be entered into the Whitworth Heritage Gallery Hall Of Fame in 2009.

The baseball team has had an overall great season going 13-2. Ralph is excited to see how they will end the season and is proud of how far they have come this season.
