2019 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 2019, Tyson Dyer (35) led college football punters in punts inside the 20, ahead of Michael Turk (33) and Brandon Heicklen (33). 193 punters qualify.
