2012 College Clutch Field Goal Percentage Leaders

The share of clutch kicks (fourth quarter or overtime, within eight points) that a kicker made. The samples are small, so this number moves a lot from season to season.

Treat it as a story, not a skill rating. Attempts are shown under each percentage. In 2012, Mike Meyer (100.0%) led college football kickers in clutch field goal percentage, ahead of Kyle Brindza (100.0%) and Brendan Gibbons (100.0%). 48 kickers qualify (minimum 3 clutch attempts).
