2026 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 2026, Jaxson Dunn (12) led college football punters in punts out of bounds, ahead of Brady Braun (11) and Roland Podesta (7). 127 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.
