In 2023, as the Wildcats surged to a terrific 10-3 season capped by a win over Oklahoma in the Valero Alamo Bowl, Cumming coached one of the nation's top wide receiver duos in Tetairoa McMillan and Jacob Cowing, who each caught 90 passes and double-digit touchdowns.

Cowing also was one of two receivers to top 1,000 receiving yards (1,034). It marked the first time in program history that the Arizona Wildcats had two receivers surpass the 1,000 receiving yard mark in a single season.

Similarly, Arizona rose to 21st in the NCAA in total offense in 2022 after finishing 101st the year prior.

The group was led by standout Stanley Berryhill III, who led the team in receptions (83) and yards (744) while earning All-Pac-12 honors. Wide receivers BJ Casteel (33) and Boobie Curry (21) also pulled in more than 20 catches.
Cummings also played a key role in building Arizona's 2022 signing class that ranked second in the Pac-12 (22nd nationally) and included the first five-star signee in program history.
Cummings went to Arizona after having spent four years at San Jose State. The Spartans finished the 2020 season with a mark of 7-1 while ranking in the top three of the Mountain West in total offense and passing. SJSU receiver Bailey Gaither earned All-Mountain West first team while Tre Walker was a second-team selection.
Spartan wide receivers were productive during the 2019 season as well under Cummings' guidance, accounting for 216 receptions and 17 touchdowns. Walker was a first-team All-MW selection in 2019, and SJSU's receivers helped propel the team to the top passing attack in the conference that year.
Prior to his arrival in San Jose, Cummings spent three seasons as a quality control coach at Oregon State, where he played as a wideout for the Beavers from 2011 to 2013.
Cummings played 33 games over three years in Corvallis, finishing his career with 52 catches for 627 yards and four touchdowns. He played in bowl games in 2012 and 2013 while at OSU.
