2011 College Kickoff Returns Allowed Leaders

Kickoffs the receiving team brought out of the end zone. More returns mean more chances for a big return, but also more chances to be tackled short.

Compare with return yards allowed. In 2011, Jeremiah Detmer (70) led college football kickoff specialists in kickoff returns allowed, ahead of Danny Hrapmann (67) and Trevor Harman (66). 221 kickoff specialists qualify.

College rule in 2011: kickoffs were from the 30 and a touchback started the receiving team at its 20. Kickoff Points Added accounts for the rule, so it is the fair way to compare kickoff specialists across leagues and seasons.
