2013 College Kickoff Out of Bounds Percentage Leaders

The share of kickoffs that crossed a sideline before anyone touched them. It is a penalty and gives the receiving team good field position.

Lowest comes first. Most specialists are at or near zero. In 2013, Dan Goodale (0.0%) topped college football kickoff specialists in kickoff out of bounds percentage, ahead of James Hairston (0.0%) and Jake Smith (0.0%). 124 kickoff specialists qualify (minimum 30 kickoffs). The median qualified kickoff specialist had 3.1%.

College rule from 2012 to 2017: a kickoff touchback started the receiving team at its 25, so a touchback was a good result for the kicking team. Kickoff Points Added accounts for the rule, so it is the fair way to compare kickoff specialists across leagues and seasons.
