2011 College Punts Downed Leaders

A downed punt is one a member of the kicking team stops or touches to keep it from rolling into the end zone.

It is a coverage and control stat as much as a leg stat. In 2011, Will Goggans (27) led college football punters in punts downed, ahead of Brett Baer (25) and Zack Campbell (25). 166 punters qualify.
