2020 College 50+ Yard Field Goal Percentage Leaders
This is the share of 50-plus-yard attempts a kicker made. Samples are small, often five to fifteen kicks, so one miss moves the number a lot.
Use it as a signal of long range accuracy, not a final verdict, and look at the attempts shown under each percentage. In 2020, Cade York (83.3%) led college football kickers in 50+ yard field goal percentage, ahead of Alex Kessman (80.0%) and Evan McPherson (80.0%). 6 kickers qualify (minimum 5 attempts of 50 or more yards). The median qualified kicker had 73.3%.
