2023 College Success Rate per Target 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 with positive EPA.

The 2023 leaders: Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen (100.0%), Micah Davis (94.6%), Landon Sides (93.3%).

Success Rate per Target

Minimum to rank: 1.875 receptions per team game (the NFL's rate; the NCAA ranks receivers per game with no reception minimum). 479 players.
