2023 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 2023, Tory Taylor (36) led college football punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Ryan Rehkow (30) and James Ferguson-Reynolds (26). 164 punters qualify.
