2026 College Blocked Punts Leaders
A blocked punt is one the defense stops at the line. Blocks reflect the snap and protection as much as the punter.
Only punters with at least one appear. In 2026, Edward Phillipson (3) led college football punters in blocked punts, ahead of Tom Weston (2) and Max Tulen (1). 20 punters qualify. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
Data through Week 7 of the 2026 season, updated October 24, 2026.
