The Texas State Bobcats football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Texas State Bobcats 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 Bobcats represent Texas State University in the NCAA 's Sun Belt Conference.
Although Texas State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1904,[ 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. These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season .
