Tulane Green Wave football statistical leaders

The Tulane Green Wave football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Tulane Green Wave 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 Green Wave represent Tulane University in the NCAA's American Athletic Conference.

Although Tulane began competing in intercollegiate football in 1893,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1939. 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 1939, 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.
  • Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Green Wave have played in two bowl games since then.
  • Eight of Tulane's nine highest seasons in total offensive yards have come since 1998.[1]

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