2018 College Punts Inside the 20 Leaders

A punt that ends inside the opponent's 20-yard line pins the offense deep. It rewards accuracy and touch, not just distance.

Count, so volume helps. See the percentage version for efficiency. In 2018, Kyle Kramer (36) led college football punters in punts inside the 20, ahead of Matt Ference (35) and Blake Cusick (32). 193 punters qualify.
