Playing career
At a height of 6 feet and 8 inches and a weight of 220 pounds, Capel played the small forward position. Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Capel is only one of nine players to ever start for UNC's basketball team in all four years of his eligibility. He led the Tar Heels in scoring in his senior year with 15.6 points per game. He also played in the NCAA Final Four in 2000.
Capel went undrafted in the National Basketball Association's NBA Draft in 2002. Though he briefly made the Charlotte Bobcats' roster, he never played in an NBA game. He then turned down more lucrative offers in Europe to play basketball in the NBA D-League for the Fayetteville Patriots, a team coached by his father Jeff Capel II. After two years in the D-League (2002–04) he played professionally in Japan for the Aisin Seahorses (2004–05).
He played for BT Roseto of the Italian Serie A league in 2005–2006, and from July to December 2006 he played with Air Avellino in the same league. Capel wrapped up his professional career in Serbia playing for KK Crvena zvezda of the Naša Sinalko Liga in 2007.
Coaching career
Capel joined the staff of Buzz Peterson at Appalachian in 2009 as an assistant coach. Following the departure of Buzz Peterson for the head coach job at UNCW, on April 19, 2010 rumors surfaced that Capel had been offered the top spot on the Appalachian basketball coaching staff. On April 21 it was confirmed in a press conference that Capel was the new head coach of the Mountaineers, the 15th in program history. Capel's contract was not renewed after the 2013–14 season when the Mountaineers finished with a 9–21 record.
