2021 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 2021, Adam Korsak (38) led college football punters in punts inside the 20, ahead of Matt Araiza (38) and Trenton Gill (36). 171 punters qualify.
