2023 College Completion % 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.

Completions divided by pass attempts. Spikes count as incomplete attempts, as the NFL counts them.

The 2023 leaders: Bo Nix (77.2%), J.J. McCarthy (74.2%), Jacob Zeno (73.6%).

Completion %

Minimum to rank: 15 pass attempts per team game (the NCAA's minimum for passing efficiency). 123 players.
