The Appalachian State Mountaineers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Appalachian State Mountaineers football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Mountaineers represent Appalachian State University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference.
Although Appalachian State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1928,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1957. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
- Since 1957, seasons in the top level of college football, now Division I FBS, have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
- From 1982 through 2013, Appalachian State played in the second level of Division I football, currently known as Division I FCS. While regular seasons at that level remain limited to 11 games in most years, two aspects of FCS rules allow for more games.
- The NCAA organizes an FCS championship tournament, currently called the NCAA Division I Football Championship. The Mountaineers reached the FCS playoffs 20 times, playing 41 games, between 1986 and 2012 (they were ineligible for the 2013 playoffs due to their FBS transition), giving many players extra games to accumulate statistics.
- Additionally, current NCAA rules allow FCS teams to schedule 12 regular-season games in years when the period starting with the Thursday before Labor Day and ending with the final Saturday in November contains 14 Saturdays.
- The NCAA did not count bowl games toward official season statistics until 2002 (at that time, Appalachian State was in what is now known as FCS). Since upgrading to FBS, the Mountaineers have appeared in two bowl games: the 2015 Camellia Bowl and 2016 Camellia Bowl.
- The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2017 regular season.
