Former Northern Illinois DE George Gumbs Commits to Cincinnati

The Bearcats have landed two defensive players this weekend.

CINCINNATI — UC football has some new pass-rushing talent in former Northern Illinois defensive end George Gumbs Jr.

The wide receiver turned defensive end made some big plays in 2023 with 34 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Gumbs posted a 62.1 PFF grade across 430 snaps in what was his first season playing the position.

He posted a poor tackling grade (42.4) but could obviously grow in that area. He did play very well in coverage and has nice athletic ability at 6-foot-4, 242 pounds.
