Appalachian State Mountaineers football statistical leaders

The Appalachian State Mountaineers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Appalachian State Mountaineers football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Mountaineers represent Appalachian State University in the NCAA's Sun Belt Conference.

Although Appalachian State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1928, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1957. 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 1957, 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 Mountaineers reached the FCS Playoffs 20 times, playing 41 games, between 1986 and 2012, giving many players extra games to accumulate statistics. Since upgrading to the FBS, the Mountaineers have appeared in two bowl games: the 2015 Camellia Bowl and 2016 Camellia Bowl.

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

    Total offense

    Total offense is the sum of passing and rushing statistics. It does not include receiving or returns.
