2019 College Net Yards per Attempt Leaders

College play-by-play before 2025 does not record where passes went, so depth, direction, ACE and throw maps start in 2025. Counting stats are the official NCAA season lines.

NY/A = (yards − sack yards) ÷ (attempts + sacks).

The 2019 leaders: Tua Tagovailoa (10.60), Jalen Hurts (10.56), Joe Burrow (9.73).

Net Yards per Attempt

Minimum to rank: 15 pass attempts per team game (the NCAA's minimum for passing efficiency). 109 players.
