2024 College Punts Downed Leaders

A downed punt is one a member of the kicking team stops or touches to keep it from rolling into the end zone.

It is a coverage and control stat as much as a leg stat. In 2024, Andrew Stokes (17) led college football punters in punts downed, ahead of Makenzie Ryan (17) and Dante Atton (16). 160 punters qualify.
