06/23/21 | Football
EUGENE, Ore. — Tight end Hunter Kampmoyer is one of two University of Oregon recipients of the Pac-12's Tom Hansen Conference Medal for 2020-21, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Kampmoyer was honored along with Lydia Giomi from the women's basketball team. Conference medals have been awarded every year since 1960-61, to the outstanding male and female graduating student-athletes from each conference member school based on scholarship, athletics and leadership. They were renamed in 2009 to honor former conference commissioner Tom Hansen.
A two-time scholar athlete award winner for the Ducks, Kampmoyer helped Oregon to back-to-back Pac-12 Championships as well as a victory in the 2020 Rose Bowl. The Bishop, Calif., native capped his UO career-highs for catches (14), receiving yards (161) and touchdowns (3) in 2020, including a 14-yard touchdown to help the Ducks win the Pac-12 Championship Game.
Kampmoyer graduated from Oregon with a degree in sociology. He signed a free-agent contract with the Los Angeles Chargers following the 2021 NFL Draft, reuniting with former UO quarterback Justin Herbert.
Off the field, Kampmoyer volunteered for O Heroes community service projects throughout his time in Eugene. He spoke to local youth on many occasions and also participated in community service projects for Oregon Special Olympics, Boys and Girls Club of Eugene, and Boy Scouts of America.
