Contents
Although Kentucky began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1946. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists. For example, Cecil Tuttle rushed for 6 touchdowns against Maryland in 1907, but complete records for the era are unavailable.

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

Kicking
The 2014 Kentucky Football Media Guide only lists a top 5 in field goal kicking lists, rather than a top 10.
