Cameron Damonte Echols-Luper (born Cameron Damonte Echols; April 9, 1995) is an American professional football wide receiver and return specialist for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He attended Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama, where he was a quarterback and won six state titles in track and field. He played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs from 2013 to 2014 as a wide receiver and earned Phil Steele second-team freshman All-American honors as a punt returner. He then transferred to play for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as a quarterback in 2015 but ended up playing wide receiver there as well after sitting out his first season due to NCAA transfer rules. In 2016, he was named the "Fastest Receiver" in the Sun Belt by the Sporting News and was also listed on NFL.com's "16 for '16: College football's most freakish athletes". He transferred to play his final season of college football for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in 2017.
After going undrafted in 2018, Echols-Luper spent time on the practice rosters of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions of the CFL from 2018 to 2019. He later played in 18 games for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League (USFL) from 2022 to 2023. He then had a short offseason stint with the New Orleans Breakers of the USFL but the team folded, and he signed with the Calgary Stampeders, for whom he started 12 games in 2024. Echols-Luper also participated in track and field while at TCU, garnering Outdoor USTFCCA second-team All-American recognition for his performance in the 4x100 relay during the 2014 outdoor track season and winning the long jump event at the 2015 Big 12 Indoor Championships.
