2025 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 2025, Stone Harrington (0.0%) topped college football kickoff specialists in kickoff out of bounds percentage, ahead of Jayden Fielding (0.0%) and Chris Freeman (0.0%). 135 kickoff specialists qualify (minimum 30 kickoffs).

College rule: a kickoff touchback, or a fair catch inside the 25, starts the receiving team at its 25, so a touchback is 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.
