Gumms is entering Year 3 of his college football career. He played in 3 games for North Texas in 2021, taking a redshirt for the season.
Last season was a breakout year for Gumms. In 14 games, including 6 starts, Gumms set UNT single-season records for a tight end in receptions (34) and yards (458), also catching 5 touchdowns. His standout season led to second-team Freshman All-American recognition from The Athletic and College Football News. He was named first-team All-Conference USA by the conference coaches.
BYU, Colorado, Cal, FAU, Oregon, West Virginia and Utah also extended scholarship offers to Gumms upon his entry to the transfer portal last week.
