The Utah State Aggies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Utah State Aggies 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 Aggies represent Utah State University in the NCAA's Mountain West Conference.

Although Utah State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1956. 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 1956, 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. The Aggies have played in five bowl games since this decision (all since 2011), giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
  • In 2014, Utah State not only appeared in a bowl game but also played a 13-game regular season. The NCAA allows teams that play at Hawaii in a given season to schedule a 13th regular-season game. The Aggies played at Hawaii and chose to take advantage of this rule.

    • 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.
