2016 College Punts Inside the 10 Leaders

Punts whose final resting spot, after any return, was inside the receiving team's own 10. These are the best results a punt can have short of a turnover.

A count, so it rewards volume and good field position. See the inside-the-20 percentage for efficiency. In 2016, Mitch Wishnowsky (21) led college football punters in punts inside the 10, ahead of Austin Rehkow (16) and Ethan Wood (16). 163 punters qualify.
