2022 College Punts Leaders

The number of punts, including blocked ones. A busy punter usually belongs to an offense that stalls, so volume is not a quality measure.

Read it with net average and points added. In 2022, Aaron Rodriguez (81) led college football punters in punts, ahead of CJ Kolodziey (81) and James Evans (75). 222 punters qualify.
