2021 College 50+ Yard Punt Percentage Leaders

The share of a punter's punts (blocked ones excluded) that went at least 50 yards. It removes volume from the comparison.

A strong leg, not a guarantee of good field position. In 2021, Ryan Stonehouse (54.5%) led college football punters in 50+ yard punt percentage, ahead of Michael Turk (54.5%) and Matt Araiza (51.3%). 119 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 22.7%.
