2024 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 2024, Josh Smith (83) led college football punters in punts, ahead of Jacob Ulrich (75) and Dante Atton (75). 203 punters qualify.
