2021 College Blocked Punts Leaders
A blocked punt is one the defense stops at the line. Blocks reflect the snap and protection as much as the punter.
Only punters with at least one appear. In 2021, Charlie Mendes (2) led college football punters in blocked punts, ahead of Luke Magliozzi (2) and Matthew Shipley (2). 40 punters qualify.
