Texas A&M Aggies football statistical leaders
The Texas A&M Aggies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Texas A&M 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 Texas A&M University in the NCAA's Southeastern Conference.
Although Texas A&M began competing in intercollegiate football in 1894,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1950. 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 1950, 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 Aggies have played in 10 bowl games since then.
- The Aggies have topped 5,000 11 times in school history, including each of the last 7 seasons. The four highest seasons in offensive output are the four years between 2011 and 2014.[1]
These lists are updated through the end game of the 2015 season. One unusual aspect of the Texas A&M lists is Ryan Tannehill, a quarterback who previously played wide receiver and appears in the career top 10 lists for passing yards and receiving yards.
Passing
Johnny Manziel holds single-season school records in passing yards and touchdowns, and is second on both career lists, despite only playing for 2 seasons.
