In 1989, Rutgers went to the NCAA Final Four and, in Rammel's senior year, the team made it to the championship game where it lost in penalty kicks to UCLA.
Rammel then moved to Europe where he played for German lower division clubs SC Norderstedt in 1991-1992 and Tus Celle in 1992–1993.
In 1994, Rammel returned to school at the University of Massachusetts Amherst where he earned a Master's degree in Business Administration in Finance in 1996.
[citation needed] His scoring touch deserted him in 1997 and after eleven games the team traded him on July 3, 1997, to the Colorado Rapids for Roy Wegerle.
Two weeks later Rammel announced he planned to retire from playing and join UCLA as an assistant men's soccer coach.
Rammel was an assistant at UCLA for three years before moving to Saint Mary's College of California as the head men's soccer coach.
