2014 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 2014, Scott Harding (86) led college football punters in punts, ahead of Trevor Pardula (83) and Kristian Stern (83). 208 punters qualify.
