2022 College Adjusted 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.

AY/A = (yards + 20 × TD − 45 × INT) ÷ attempts. Like ANY/A without sacks.

The 2022 leaders: Hendon Hooker (10.90), C.J. Stroud (10.73), Grayson McCall (10.61).

Adjusted Yards per Attempt

Minimum to rank: 15 pass attempts per team game (the NCAA's minimum for passing efficiency). 119 players.
