2011 College Kickoffs Out of Bounds Leaders

A kickoff out of bounds is a penalty and gives the receiving team the ball at the spot or at its 40, so it is a mistake.

Only specialists with at least one appear; fewer is better. In 2011, Jesse Roy (11) led college football kickoff specialists in kickoffs out of bounds, ahead of Jack Griffin (10) and Tyler Wedel (8). 137 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.
