Ray Rice holds Rutgers career and single-season records in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.The Rutgers Scarlet Knights football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 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 Scarlet Knights represent Rutgers University–New Brunswick in the NCAA 's Big Ten Conference .
Although Rutgers began competing in intercollegiate football in 1869,[1] Homer Hazel , the players can appear on the lists.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
Since 1957, 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 2016 season .
