2026 College Longest Punts Leaders

Each punter's longest punt of the season in gross yards. Tailwinds, altitude and a punt that rolls can all add yards.

A single punt: it says little about a season. In 2026, Dylan Drennan (78 yds) led college football punters in longest punts, ahead of Tashi Dorje (77 yds) and Ashton Logan (76 yds). 159 punters qualify. The median qualified punter had 59 yds. 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.
