2020 College Punts of 50+ Yards Leaders

Gross punts of at least 50 yards from the line of scrimmage. It is the classic leg-strength count.

Distance without placement can mean a touchback, so read it with net average. In 2020, Nolan Cooney (25) led college football punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Pressley Harvin III (22) and John Haggerty (20). 150 punters qualify.
