Bryan Thomas holds Blazer career and single-season records in sacks. The UAB Blazers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UAB Blazers football program in various categories,[ 1] [ 2] including passing , rushing , receiving , total offense , defensive stats, and kicking . Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Blazers represent the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the NCAA 's Conference USA (C-USA). The football program returned in 2017 after a two-season hiatus.[ 3]
UAB began competing in intercollegiate football in 1991.[ 1] Entries on these lists tend to be dominated by more recent players, however, as regular seasons expanded from 11 to 12 games in 2002-03 and permanently in 2006. Additionally, the Blazers have played in three bowl games, the 2004 Hawaii Bowl , 2017 Bahamas Bowl , and 2018 Boca Raton Bowl , and also played in (and won) the C-USA Championship Game in 2018 , giving that team a second extra game. Accordingly, the 2004 , 2017 , and 2018 seasons have a disproportionately high amount of entries.
These lists are updated through the 2018 season .

During UAB's 2015–2016 football hiatus, the UAB Record Book did not list any sacks records.[ 1] The 2013 UAB football media guide recorded top performances in sacks,[ 45] and the 2018 media guide also does so.[ 2]
