Pumphrey attended Canyon Springs High School in North Las Vegas, Nevada. As a senior, he was the Gatorade High School Football Player of the Year for Nevada after rushing for 1,491 yards on 160 carries with 19 touchdowns. During his career, he ran for 4,152 yards on 494 attempts with 49 touchdowns. Pumphrey was rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com. He committed to San Diego State University to play college football.
College career
As a true freshman in 2013, Pumphrey played in all 13 games, making one start. He finished second on the team behind Adam Muema with 752 rushing yards on 125 carries with eight touchdowns. After Muema entered the 2014 NFL Draft, Pumphrey became the starter his sophomore year in 2014. He played in all 13 games and rushed for 1,876 on 276 carries with 20 touchdowns. The rushing yards broke the school record held by George Jones since 1995 and was the third best total in the nation behind Melvin Gordon and Tevin Coleman. Pumphrey rushed for 2,018 yards in 2016 season. In the 2016 Las Vegas Bowl, he passed Ron Dayne of Wisconsin for the all-time NCAA Division I FBS lead in career rushing yards. The claim was met with mixed reactions, as sportswriters questioned the validity of the record due to the NCAA's omission of bowl statistics accumulated by players prior to 2002.
