2023 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 2023, Tory Taylor (86) led college football punters in punts, ahead of Riley Riethman (80) and Jadon Cardell (75). 201 punters qualify.
