In what is arguably the deepest Cal Lutheran backfield in years, Sumlin stands out from the pack. The Lancaster native - whom teammates call “Cuatro” because he wears No. 4 - sealed the Kingsmen’s season-opening victory over Pacific Lutheran with a game-winning, 12-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Sumlin and backfield mate Mehki Delouth combined for 91 rushing yards running behind a massive offensive line that features Gavin Quiroz (6-foot, 300 pounds), Jordan Ortiz (6-4, 295), Gabriel Anguiano (6-1, 320) and Aaron Galicia (6-1, 300). Quiroz described Sumlin, Delouth and returning starter Gabe Landless as a “three-headed dragon.” “I don’t think the SCIAC’s ready for this running game,” said Quiroz, a 2024 First Team All-SCIAC selection.
