2021 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 2021, Cade York (71.4%) led college football kickers in 50+ yard field goal percentage, ahead of Gabe Brkic (71.4%) and Caleb Shudak (66.7%). 8 kickers qualify (minimum 5 attempts of 50 or more yards). The median qualified kicker had 45.0%.
