2011 College Punts Leaders

The number of punts, including blocked ones. A busy punter usually belongs to an offense that stalls, so volume is not a quality measure.

Read it with net average and points added. In 2011, Tom Hornsey (95) led college football punters in punts, ahead of Bobby Cowan (87) and Cole Wagner (80). 197 punters qualify.
