Donnel Pumphrey has earned a place among San Diego State's most elite sports alumni. As he enters his last season as an Aztec, a young talent with a familiar background commits to SDSU for 2017.
San Diego State owned Mountain West football last season. This was due, in no small part, to its superstar running back Donnel Pumphrey. Pumphrey is now poised to move past Marshall Faulk in the fall as the program's all-time lead rusher.
Pumphrey stands among San Diego State's most elite athletes. That special list includes Tony Gwynn, Marshall Faulk, Stephen Strasburg, and Kawhi Leonard.
