Ohio Bobcats football statistical leaders

The Ohio Bobcats football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Ohio 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 Ohio University in the NCAA's Mid-American Conference.

Although Ohio 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 Bobcats have played in nine bowl games since this decision, giving many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
  • Similarly, Ohio has played in the MAC Football Championship Game five times, giving yet another game for players in those seasons.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2021 season.
