Cam Camper
Cam Camper is a wide receiver who spent the 2026 preseason with the New York Jets. Signed at the end of July, he was waived on 30 August after sustaining a head and neck injury in the preseason finale against the Giants.
Background & Path to the Jets
A native of Willingboro, New Jersey, Camper is listed at 6-3 and 198 pounds. He began his college career at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, transferred to Indiana for three seasons, then moved to Boise State for 2024. He was a teammate of Jets rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at Indiana in 2022 and 2023.
He signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in 2025 and spent time in the Jaguars’ camp. He then played the 2026 UFL season with the Orlando Storm, finishing with 366 receiving yards and three touchdowns, including a 74-yard catch-and-run score.
The Jets signed him on July 31, 2026, waiving-injured receiver Gee Scott in the same move — one of several receiver transactions the club made through a camp disrupted by injuries at the position.
