Cummings brings compact, explosive versatility to Idaho’s backfield
Elisha Cummings is a compact, high-effort **power back with underrated speed** who has been a steady all-purpose weapon for Idaho, producing **523 rushing yards on 97 carries** with **1 rushing TD** in 2025 while also contributing as a receiver and returner. His best fit is a team that values toughness, contact balance, and versatility more than pure size; at 5-foot-8 and 188 pounds, he wins with burst, tackle-breaking ability, and a “do-it-all” mentality that showed up in big moments like Idaho’s 2025 win over Portland State. He also posted strong pro-day testing for his size, including a 34-inch vertical and 4.48 forty, reinforcing the speed-and-strength profile that makes him more than a box-score runner.[2][5][11]
