2026 College Clutch Field Goal Percentage Leaders

The share of clutch kicks (fourth quarter or overtime, within eight points) that a kicker made. The samples are small, so this number moves a lot from season to season.

Treat it as a story, not a skill rating. Attempts are shown under each percentage. In 2026, Dawson Jones (100.0%) led college football kickers in clutch field goal percentage, ahead of Dieter Kelly (100.0%) and Joe McFadden (100.0%). 50 kickers qualify (minimum 2 clutch attempts). The median qualified kicker had 100.0%. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.

Data through Week 7 of the 2026 season, updated October 24, 2026.
