2026 College Game-Winning Field Goals Leaders
A game-winning field goal here is a made kick in the fourth quarter or overtime with two minutes or less left, taken when his team was tied or behind by no more than two points, so the kick put his team ahead.
Only kickers with at least one appear. In 2026, Garrison Rippa (2) led college football kickers in game-winning field goals, ahead of James London (1) and Derek Morris (1). 23 kickers qualify. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
