BYU Cougars football statistical leaders

The BYU Cougars football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the BYU Cougars 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 Cougars represent Brigham Young University as an independent in NCAA Division I FBS.

Although BYU began competing in intercollegiate football in 1922,[1] these lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

• Since 1922, seasons have increased from 6 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.
• Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Cougars have played in 13 bowl games since then, allowing many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
• Similarly, the Cougars have played games at Hawaii 16 times since 1978. When a team plays at Hawaii, they are allowed to schedule another game beyond the usual limit.[3]

These lists are updated through the end of the 2018 season.
