2017 College 50+ Yard Punt Percentage Leaders

The share of a punter's punts (blocked ones excluded) that went at least 50 yards. It removes volume from the comparison.

A strong leg, not a guarantee of good field position. In 2017, Trevor Daniel (47.1%) led college football punters in 50+ yard punt percentage, ahead of Corey Bojorquez (46.3%) and Michael Dickson (45.8%). 125 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 19.0%.
