2011 College Inside the 20 Percentage Leaders

The share of a punter's punts that end inside the opponent's 20-yard line. It removes volume from the comparison.

Field position matters: punters who punt from midfield have more chances than those punting from their own end. In 2011, Brad Elkin (58.5%) led college football punters in inside the 20 percentage, ahead of Tress Way (57.9%) and Kyle Negrete (57.9%). 115 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 35.1%.
