The NC State Wolfpack football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the NC State Wolfpack football program in various categories,[1] passing , rushing , receiving , total offense , defensive stats, and kicking . Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Wolfpack represent North Carolina State University in the NCAA 's Atlantic Coast Conference .
Although NC State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892,[1]
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
Since the 1960s, 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] These lists are updated through the end of the 2021 regular season .
