2013 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 2013, Cameron Johnston (65.1%) led college football punters in inside the 20 percentage, ahead of Michael Palardy (55.6%) and Richie Leone (55.6%). 121 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 36.2%.
