After high school, Cram played for the University of Oregon football team during the 2004 season before becoming a decorated decathlete at both Lane Community College and Long Beach State University.

Cram was a two-time Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Decathlon Champion (2006-07) while at Lane Community College in Eugene. In 2006 he was named NWAACC Most Outstanding Athlete and 2007 saw him earn recognition as the NWAACC Field Athlete of the Year. He placed at the NWAACC Championships 11 times in the pole vault, long jump, javelin, 110m high hurdles, 4X100m relay and the decathlon.  Cram was also a nine-time NWAACC All-American.

After competing at Lane CC, Cram attended Long Beach State, where he placed third in the Big West decathlon in 2008 and was coached by the aforementioned Rodda. An All-Big West performer, Cram was also a conference qualifier in the pole vault and long jump. He placed fifth in the long jump with a leap of 23-02.50 and had a runner-up finish in the javelin with a season-best of 186-04 at the Big West Challenge in 2008.
