The Nevada Wolf Pack football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Nevada Wolf Pack 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 Wolf Pack represent the University of Nevada, Reno in the NCAA's Mountain West Conference (MW).

Although Nevada began competing in intercollegiate football in 1896, [1] the school's official record book does not include many statistics from before the 1940s, because records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.

Total offense

Total offense is the sum of passing and rushing statistics. It does not include receiving or returns. [29]

Total offense yards

Touchdowns responsible for

"Touchdowns responsible for" is the NCAA's official term for combined passing and rushing touchdowns. [30]

The 2014 Nevada Wolf Pack Media Guide does not have any lists for total touchdowns responsible for, [1] and since the Wolf Pack did not play in the FBS (formerly I-A) until 1992, most Internet statistical listing do not list the full history of Nevada's statistics. However, as Colin Kaepernick is the school leader in both passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns, it is safe to say his 141 touchdowns responsible for are the school record (82 passing, 59 rushing; he also caught 1 touchdown pass that does not count toward this statistical measure).

Defense

Interceptions

Tackles

Sacks

Kicking

Field goals made
