PREP
A 3-year letterwinner and starter, and 1-year captain for Christian Brothers High School and head coach Larry Morla, Cummings arrives in Spearfish after a prep career that saw him rush for more than 2,000 yards en route to three first team all-conference honors and two All-Sac Metro Area selections. He concluded his senior campaign with 1,179 yards of total offense (810 rushing yards and 278 receiving yards), ten touchdowns, and an average of 5.9 yards per carry. He was the league leader in rushing yards both his sophomore (639 yards) and junior (780 yards) seasons, helping lead the Falcons to winning records and to the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Playoff quarterfinals each year. Jay is the son of Justin and Brooke Cummings and has one sibling, Paige.
