The Troy Trojans football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Troy Trojans football program in various categories,[ 1] NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference (SBC).
Although Troy began competing in intercollegiate football in 1909,[ 1]
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
Since the 1960s, 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 SBC has held a championship game since 2018 . Troy played in the 2022 and 2023 editions, giving players in those seasons yet another game to accumulate statistics. 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] These lists are updated through the 2023 Sun Belt Championship Game . Players active in 2023 are in bold .
