2026 College Punt Points Added Leaders
Each punt's expected-points result compared with an average punt from the same spot on the field, added up over the season. It puts distance, placement, coverage and returns on one scale.
Positive means he gained more than an average punter would from the same spots. In 2026, Tyler White (+11.5) led college football punters in punt points added, ahead of William Hudlow (+10.2) and Will Karoll (+9.9). 130 punters qualify (minimum 15 punts). The median qualified punter had +1.0. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
