Boyertown, Kutztown University grad Jerome Kapp invited to New York Jets rookie mini-camp

Former Boyertown and Kutztown University wide receiver Jerome Kapp is headed to an NFL mini-camp.

The New York Jets invited Kapp to their rookie mini-camp, which will be held this spring.

Kapp finished his career with the Golden Bears with 122 catches for 2,190 yards and 22 touchdowns in 36 games. Kapp played just three seasons with Kutztown, as the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kapp ranks third in program history in receiving yards and fifth in receiving touchdowns. He ranks ahead of Andre Reed, a former Kutztown standout and Pro Football Hall of Famer, in both categories.

The 6-3, 210 pound receiver was an All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East first-team selection in 2021 and 2022.  He led the PSAC with 19.5 yards per catch in last season.

Kapp helped the Golden Bears win the PSAC title in 2021 and qualify for the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. Kutztown won 11 games, tying a program record.

Kapp began his college career at Seton Hill, but took a medical redshirt season in 2019 and did not appear in a game.

At Boyertown, Kapp finished with 68 catches for 1,284 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns in three seasons. On defense, he had 128 total tackles, 13 interceptions, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
