2014 College Punts of 50+ Yards Leaders

Gross punts of at least 50 yards from the line of scrimmage. It is the classic leg-strength count.

Distance without placement can mean a touchback, so read it with net average. In 2014, Drew Riggleman (29) led college football punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Trevor Pardula (29) and Tom Hackett (25). 155 punters qualify.
