2015 College Yards per Team Pass 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.

Receiving yards for every pass his team threw in the games he played. A public stand-in for yards per route run, which needs route data we do not publish.

The 2015 leaders: Trent Cowan (13.17), Jamir Tillman (5.48), Corey Coleman (3.68).

Yards per Team Pass Attempt

Minimum to rank: 1.875 receptions per team game (the NFL's rate; the NCAA ranks receivers per game with no reception minimum). 457 players.
