Georgia Southern Eagles wordmark.svg

The Georgia Southern Eagles football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Georgia Southern Eagles football program in various categories, [1] [2] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Eagles represent Georgia Southern University in the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference.

Contents

Although Georgia Southern competed in intercollegiate football as early as 1924, [2] the school dropped football after the 1940 season and did not reinstate the program until 1982, initially playing at club level until resuming varsity play in 1984. Because records from the 1924-1940 period are often incomplete and inconsistent, the school's record book only include players from 1982 on.

Recordkeeping notes:

During much of their history, the Eagles have run an option offense, focused on running over passing. Therefore, the Eagles' passing records tend to be lower than at most other schools. Exceptions to this trend are the years 2006 through 2009, when the Eagles scrapped the option offense under head coaches Brian VanGorder and Chris Hatcher, [4] and since 2022, when new head coach Clay Helton installed a pro-style pass-oriented offense. Notably, Kyle Vantrease took only six games in 2022 to set a new single-season passing yardage record, [5] and more than doubled the previous record by the end of the regular season. Despite only playing at Southern for one season (he had played at Buffalo in five seasons, with one redshirt season and an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19), he is second on the team's career passing yardage list.

These lists are updated through the 2022 season.
