2020 College Red Zone 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.

Targets inside the opponent's 20.

The 2020 leaders: DeVonta Smith (21), Kyle Pitts (18), Kadarius Toney (16).
