In 2018 as a freshman Kuntz saw action in just one game for the Nittany Lions as he made one reception for just 8 yards for an average of 8.0 yards per reception, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 100.0.

As a sophomore in 2019 he played 4 games and had just 2 catches for 18 yards for an average of 9.0 yards per catch, with no TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 82.6. In pass protection he gave up 3 pressures and no sacks.

As a junior in 2020 he played 4 games and made no impact as a receiver.

After the end of the season Kuntz transferred to Old Dominion where as a senior in 2021 he played 13 games and had an outstanding 73 catches for 692 yards for an average of 9.5 yards per catch, 5 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 78.4. In pass protection he gave up one pressure and no sacks.

Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s equally dangerous in catch-and-run situations as Kuntz is taking the top off a defense
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #11. He wrote "At 6-8 1/4, 251 pounds, Kuntz is an eye-popping blend of great size and athleticism. This offseason he clocked a 4.57 40 to go with his 40-inch vertical and 10-8 broad jump. His explosiveness is also reflected in a 365-pound clean."
  • Has good hand-eye coordination and body control to turn and adjust to poorly thrown balls.
  • Good quickness off the snap. Has good speed for the position to attack the seam. Shows burst out of his breaks to gain separation.
  • Among his better attributes. Gains a quick, clean release and has enough speed to challenge deep.
  • Teams that want a thumper and extra blocker on the line of scrimmage must look elsewhere, but he can be billed as a super-sized wideout with the hands, athleticism and size to star in the NFL.
  • A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
  • When used downfield, he shows the ball-tracking skills and hand-eye coordination to make the adjustment on underthrown balls and back-shoulder throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Kuntz lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Kuntz isn’t great on contested catches.
  • His playing speed is less than elite. Kuntz won’t run past defenders like he did at the college level.
  • Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
