2025 College Punts Out of Bounds Percentage Leaders
The share of punts that crossed a sideline. A punt out of bounds cannot be returned and stops the clock, and it is what a punter wants when he is aiming for the corner.
Some are chosen and some are mistakes, and the record cannot tell which. In 2025, Noah Botsford (43.5%) led college football punters in punts out of bounds percentage, ahead of Atticus Bertrams (35.7%) and Jackson Waller (35.5%). 124 punters qualify (minimum 30 punts). The median qualified punter had 12.8%.
