James Cummings brings efficient, hard-nosed depth to Sacramento State’s backfield
James Cummings has shown useful efficiency for Sacramento State, averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 48 rushing attempts for 228 yards and a touchdown, which suggests a dependable, north-south running style rather than a volume-heavy profile. His appeal is the kind coaches like: a steady, compact contributor who can help keep an offense on schedule and fits well in a committee backfield. The main question is whether he can expand from solid efficiency into a bigger-play threat or larger workload, but as a roster fit he looks like a practical, low-drama option with clear value.
