2014 College Longest Punts Leaders

Each punter's longest punt of the season in gross yards. Tailwinds, altitude and a punt that rolls can all add yards.

A single punt: it says little about a season. In 2014, Scott Arellano (81 yds) led college football punters in longest punts, ahead of Joe Davidson (78 yds) and Daniel Cadona (77 yds). 208 punters qualify. The median qualified punter had 59 yds.
