Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season and career leaders. The Alabama Crimson Tide football program is a college football team that represents the University of Alabama in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Julio Jones set several receiving records during his tenure at Alabama.

After his career with the Crimson Tide that spanned from the 2010 to 2013 seasons, AJ McCarron graduated as Alabama's career leader in passing yardage (9,019) and completions (686).[1][2][3] Tua Tagovailoa, who had been Alabama's starting quarterback before suffering a season-ending injury late in the 2019 season,[4] holds the record for the most career passing touchdowns (87) and career total touchdowns (96). Tagovailoa also holds the single-season records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, with 3,966 yards and 43 touchdowns in 2018.[5][6] Jake Coker holds the record for completions in a single season (263), set during the 2015 season. Scott Hunter holds the record for passing yards in a single game (484), set against Auburn in 1969; Gary Hollingsworth holds the school's record for most completions in a game (32), set against Tennessee. Hollingsworth previously held the record for most passing touchdowns in a game (5), which set against Ole Miss during the 1989 season.[7][8] Tagovailoa has thrown for 5 touchdowns three times—first against Auburn in the 2018 Iron Bowl,[9] and then against South Carolina[10] and Southern Miss[11] in 2019. The week after his third 5-touchdown passing performance against Southern Miss, Tagovailoa set new single-game school records for passing touchdowns and combined passing and rushing touchdowns, throwing for 6 touchdowns and running for a seventh against Ole Miss.

Rushing leaders applies to various statistical categories held by offensive players who advance the ball rushing. After his career with the Crimson Tide that spanned from the 1996 to 1999 seasons, Shaun Alexander graduated as Alabama's career leader in rushes (727) and rushing yardage (3,565), though his yardage record was broken by Derrick Henry, who accrued 3,591 rushing yards from 2013 to 2015.[12] Mark Ingram Jr. holds the record for career rushing touchdowns (42), set during his career that spanned from 2008 to 2010; this record has since been tied by Derrick Henry.[13] All three major single-season rushing records were set by Henry in 2015: rushes (395), yards (2,219), and touchdowns (28).[14] Single-game records include Henry for rushes (46) set against Auburn during the 2015 season in which he won the Heisman Trophy; Alexander for yardage (291) set against LSU during the 1996 season; and both Alexander and Santonio Beard for touchdowns (5) set against BYU and Ole Miss during the 1998 and 2002 seasons respectively.[15][16]

Receiving leaders applies to various statistical categories held by offensive players who advance the ball by catching Forward passes. After his career with the Crimson Tide that spanned from the 2004 to 2007 seasons, D. J. Hall graduated as Alabama's career leader in receptions (194) and receiving yardage (2,923).[17] Amari Cooper holds the record for career receiving touchdowns (20), set during his career that spanned from the 2012 to 2014 seasons.[18] Receiving single-season records include Julio Jones with receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,133), and Amari Cooper with touchdown receptions (11) set during the 2010 and 2012 seasons respectively.[19] The single-game record for receptions (13) was set against Tennessee during the 2007 season by Hall and tied by Cooper against Florida Atlantic in 2014 by Cooper. In the same 2019 game against Ole Miss in which Tagovailoa set the current single-game school record for touchdown passes, DeVonta Smith set new records for both receiving yardage (274) and touchdown receptions (5).[20]

In addition to offensive records, many who have played for the Crimson Tide have set various defensive records. After his career with the Crimson Tide that spanned from the 1983 to 1986 seasons, Wayne Davis graduated as Alabama's career leader in tackles (327); Woodrow Lowe as the single-season leader with 134 in 1974; DeMeco Ryans set the single-game record with 25 against Arkansas in 2003.[21][22] After his career at Alabama that spanned from the 1990 to 1993 seasons, Antonio Langham graduated as Alabama's career leader in interceptions (19); Hootie Ingram as the single-season leader with 10 in 1952; and several players tied with the single game record of three.[23] Derrick Thomas holds every Alabama record for quarterback sacks with 52 during his career from the 1985 to 1988 seasons, 27 in 1988 and five in a single game against Texas A&M in 1988.[24]
