2026 College Kicker Rankings

Every college football kicker with at least 5 field goal attempts in the 2026 regular season, ranked by MAKE (Makes Above Kicks Expected): each field goal made minus the chance it would go in, added up over the season. A positive number means he made more than an average kicker would from the same kicks. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week. How MAKE is calculated.

Data through Week 7 of the 2026 season, updated October 24, 2026.

What Is MAKE?

"Makes Above Kicks Expected" = field goals made − expected make chance, summed over every field goal.

MAKE is FootballKickingStats.com's rating for kickers. Every field goal has a chance of going in, based on how long it is and the weather. Make a hard kick and you earn a lot. Miss an easy one and you lose a lot. Add it up for the season.

Made 55-yarder, 49% chance: +0.51
Missed 25-yarder, 92% chance: −0.92
