Kampmoyer’s path to the NFL actually started on the other side of the football. During his first to two years in Eugene, the 6’4, 240-pounder was a defensive end. After redshirting in 2016, he saw time in all 13 games and finished with five total tackles.
Ahead of the 2018 season, Kampoyer transitioned to tight end but played mainly on special teams, specifically kick return. His first year as an offensive player ended with him recording just a lone catch for five yards.
As he grew into his new role during the 2019 campaign, Kampmoyer took on more responsibility as a pass-catcher and contributor on special teams.
