2018 College Punts Out of Bounds Percentage Leaders
The share of punts that crossed a sideline. A punt out of bounds cannot be returned and stops the clock, and it is what a punter wants when he is aiming for the corner.
Some are chosen and some are mistakes, and the record cannot tell which. In 2018, Corey Dunn (39.6%) led college football punters in punts out of bounds percentage, ahead of Matt Ference (35.0%) and Hunter Lent (33.3%). 123 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 13.1%.
