2024 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 2024, Tyler Pastula (79 yds) led college football punters in longest punts, ahead of Marshall Nichols (79 yds) and Palmer Williams (79 yds). 198 punters qualify. The median qualified punter had 59 yds.
