2015 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 2015, Gerald Shouse (57.1%) led college football punters in inside the 20 percentage, ahead of Worth Gregory (55.7%) and Rigoberto Sanchez (51.6%). 126 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 35.9%.
