In order to boost a depleted receiving corp, the Portland Thunder have signed former Oregon State wide receiver Kevin Cummings. He is described by Coach Matthew Sauk as a fast receiver who is good at making the tough catch. Cummings is expected to be available for the Thunder's July 5 matchup against the Gladiators in Cleveland.

From the Thunder's official website:
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Thunder bolstered their wide receiving corps with the addition of former Oregon State University wideout Kevin Cummings.
“Kevin’s a fast receiver who was known for making big catches in college,” said Head Coach Matthew Sauk. “Again, it’s great to find these really talented players right here in the state. He’s the new guy, but I expect him to be a contributor this weekend in Cleveland.”
In three seasons at Oregon State, Cummings (6-1, 184) caught 53 passes for 627 yards and four touchdowns. In 2013, 15 of his 25 receptions went for first downs, earning a reputation as a clutch receiver. In late May, he signed with the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos – when the Eskimos were forced to clear space on their roster, the Thunder were ready to pick him up.
Cummings will be available to play Saturday in Cleveland, where the 4-10 Thunder will take on the 13-1 Cleveland Gladiators in CBS Sports Network’s “NET10 Wireless Arena Football Saturday.”
