2024 College Catch Rate 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.

Receptions per target.

The 2024 leaders: Ismail Mahdi (160.0%), Joey Hobert (150.0%), Luke Lachey (128.6%).

Catch Rate

Minimum to rank: 1.875 receptions per team game (the NFL's rate; the NCAA ranks receivers per game with no reception minimum). 473 players.
