List of statistical leaders of the Tulane Green Wave football program
The Tulane Green Wave football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the
Tulane Green Wave 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 Green Wave represent
Tulane University in the
NCAA
Division I FBS
American Athletic Conference .
Although Tulane began competing in intercollegiate football in 1893,
[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1939. 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 1939, 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 Green Wave have since played in six bowl games and will play a seventh in 2023, giving players in those seasons an extra game to accumulate statistics.
Tulane played in the American Conference championship game in 2022 and will play again in 2023, giving players in both seasons yet another game to amass statistics.
Eight of Tulane's nine highest seasons in total offensive yards have come since
1998 .

These lists are updated through the
2023 regular season . Players active in the 2023 season are in bold type .
