2015 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 2015, Nick O'Toole (26) led college football punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Johnny Townsend (26) and Drew Kaser (24). 157 punters qualify.
