The South Alabama Jaguars football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the South Alabama Jaguars 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 Jaguars represent the University of South Alabama in the NCAA 's Sun Belt Conference .
South Alabama began competing in intercollegiate football in 2009,[1] so unlike many college football teams, all of South Alabama's games have full box scores and there is no "pre-modern era" with incomplete statistics. During South Alabama's first two seasons, the Jaguars were listed as "unclassified" by the NCAA and players could play in games despite officially redshirting.[2] There are 12 players on the career lists below utilized this extra full season to accumulate statistics.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2020 season .
