2019 College Targets 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.

Passes thrown to him, as the play-by-play names the intended receiver.

The 2019 leaders: James Proche (145), Cedric Byrd II (140), Antonio Gandy-Golden (130).
