2021 College Kicker Rankings

Every college football kicker with at least 10 field goal attempts in the 2021 regular season, ranked by MAKE (Makes Above Kicks Expected): each field goal made minus the chance it would go in, added up over the season. A positive number means he made more than an average kicker would from the same kicks. How MAKE is calculated.

What Is MAKE?

"Makes Above Kicks Expected" = field goals made − expected make chance, summed over every field goal.

MAKE is FootballKickingStats.com's rating for kickers. Every field goal has a chance of going in, based on how long it is and the weather. Make a hard kick and you earn a lot. Miss an easy one and you lose a lot. Add it up for the season.

Made 55-yarder, 45% chance: +0.55
Missed 25-yarder, 92% chance: −0.92
