2020 College 50+ Yard Field Goals Leaders

Kicks from 50 yards and beyond are the hardest routine kicks in football, and the number of them a kicker makes shows both range and coaching trust.

Ties go to the kicker with fewer attempts. Check attempts before crowning anyone: a coach who never tries a 55-yarder leaves his kicker off this list. In 2020, Cade York (5) led college football kickers in 50+ yard field goals, ahead of Alex Kessman (4) and Evan McPherson (4). 70 kickers qualify.
