Huskies WR Coach Building Elite Reputation

Kevin Cummings, the University of Washington's wide receivers coach, is emerging as a standout figure on Jedd Fisch's staff, garnering significant national recognition. Two years into his role, Cummings has secured a spot on multiple top coaches lists, including No. 5 nationwide by Roc Boys Football and No. 8 by 247Sports. Matrix Analytical also named him the second-best Big Ten receivers coach. His recruiting prowess is evident, having landed commitments from four receivers for the upcoming season, with three holding 4-star ratings. Three of the four freshmen pass-catchers who participated in spring ball also arrived with 4-star accolades. While possessing a different personality than his predecessor, JaMarcus Shephard, Cummings shares a connection to Oregon State, where he played wide receiver from 2011 to 2013. Cummings employs a calm and persuasive approach to recruit, yet demonstrates a capacity for intense, direct coaching during practice to ensure players meet high standards. This blend of recruitment skill and on-field coaching is solidifying his reputation as a coach on the rise.
