Johnny Manziel holds single-season school records in passing yards and touchdowns, and is third on both career lists, despite only playing for 2 seasons.
Although Texas A&M began competing in intercollegiate football in 1894,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1950. 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 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] The Aggies have played in 15 bowl games since then.
The Aggies have topped 6,000 yards 12 times in school history, including each season from 2009 through 2016.[1]
