The North Texas Mean Green football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the North Texas Mean Green 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 Mean Green represent the University of North Texas in the NCAA Division I FBS Conference USA through the 2022 season, after which UNT will join the American Athletic Conference .
Although North Texas began competing in intercollegiate football in 1913,[1]
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] Conference USA has held a championship game since 2005. North Texas played in this game twice (2017 and 2022), giving players in each season yet another game to amass statistics. UNT's future home of the American Athletic Conference also holds a championship game , giving future Mean Green players the chance for an extra game. Due to COVID-19 issues, the NCAA ruled that the 2020 season would not count against the athletic eligibility of any football player, giving everyone who played in that season the opportunity for five years of eligibility instead of the normal four.[3] Passing [ edit ] Passing yards [ edit ] Career Rk Player Yards Years 1 Mason Fine 12,505 2016 2017 2018 2019 2 Mitch Maher 8,519 1991 1992 1993 1994 3 Derek Thompson 7,447 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 4 Austin Aune 7,324[4] 2019 2020 2021 2022 5 Steve Ramsey 7,076 1967 1968 1969 6 Scott Davis 6,923 1987 1988 1989 1990 7 Scott Hall 5,975 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 8 Giovanni Vizza 5,146 2007 2008 9 Jason Mills 3,981 1994 1995 1996 1997 10 Chandler Rogers 3,382[5] 2023
