2024 College Punts Out of Bounds Leaders

A punt out of bounds cannot be returned and stops the clock. Punters aim for the sideline near the opponent's end zone.

Some are chosen, some are mistakes. In 2024, Angus Davies (11) led college football punters in punts out of bounds, ahead of John Henderson (9) and Brett Thorson (9). 113 punters qualify.
