2023 College Longest Punts Leaders

Each punter's longest punt of the season in gross yards. Tailwinds, altitude and a punt that rolls can all add yards.

A single punt: it says little about a season. In 2023, Tom Foley (79 yds) led college football punters in longest punts, ahead of Flynn Appleby (75 yds) and Ryan Marks (75 yds). 201 punters qualify. The median qualified punter had 59 yds.
