2012 College 40-49 Yard Field Goals Leaders

Field goals from 40 to 49 yards made. This is the range where a kicker's job is decided: long enough to miss, short enough that a miss is costly.

Look at attempts as well as makes, shown under each number. In 2012, Cairo Santos (8) led college football kickers in 40-49 yard field goals, ahead of Jaden Oberkrom (8) and Jeff Budzien (6). 148 kickers qualify.
