2018 College Punts Out of Bounds Leaders

A punt out of bounds cannot be returned and stops the clock. Punters aim for the sideline near the opponent's end zone.

Some are chosen, some are mistakes. In 2018, Matt Ference (28) led college football punters in punts out of bounds, ahead of Corey Dunn (19) and Adam Korsak (17). 168 punters qualify.
