2020 College Clutch Field Goals Made Leaders
A clutch kick is one taken in the fourth quarter or overtime with the score within one possession (eight points). These are the kicks where a make or miss can decide the game.
Check attempts under each number; a kicker with more chances can lead simply by getting them. In 2020, Christopher Dunn (5) led college football kickers in clutch field goals made, ahead of Noel Ruiz (5) and Alex Hale (4). 94 kickers qualify.
