New Mexico State Aggies football statistical leaders

The New Mexico State Aggies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the New Mexico State Aggies 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 Aggies represent New Mexico State University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference.[2]

Although New Mexico State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1894,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1954. 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 1954, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
  • 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.
  • The Aggies haven't played in a bowl game since playing in the 1960 Sun Bowl. However, the Aggies did accumulate many yards of offense during Hal Mumme's four-year stint as head coach from 2005 through 2008.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
