2017 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 2017, Yannis Routsas (61.7%) led college football punters in inside the 20 percentage, ahead of Mac Loudermilk (58.5%) and Cody Grace (56.8%). 125 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 36.1%.
