2026 College 40-49 Yard Field Goal Percentage Leaders

The share of field goals from 40 to 49 yards that a kicker made. Splitting percentage by distance shows where a kicker is strong or weak, which one overall percentage hides.

Only kickers with enough attempts in this range are ranked. In 2026, Caden Buhr (100.0%) led college football kickers in 40-49 yard field goal percentage, ahead of Conor Talty (100.0%) and Ethan Moczulski (100.0%). 45 kickers qualify (minimum 4 attempts from 40 to 49 yards). The median qualified kicker had 75.0%. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
