2025 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 2025, Noah Botsford (20) led college football punters in punts out of bounds, ahead of Oliver Straw (15) and Keegan Andrews (14). 159 punters qualify.
