2021 College Field Goals Missed Leaders

Every attempt that did not go through the uprights, including blocked kicks. A high count can mean a kicker was struggling or that he was asked to try many long, low-percentage kicks.

Always read it with attempts: missing 6 of 40 is a very different season from missing 6 of 12. In 2021, Matt Araiza (10) led college football kickers in field goals missed, ahead of Brandon Talton (9) and Connor Coles (9). 163 kickers qualify.
