The Texas Tech Red Raiders football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Texas Tech Red Raiders football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season and career leaders. The Red Raiders represent Texas Tech University in the NCAA Division I FBS Big 12 Conference.
Texas Tech began competing in intercollegiate football in 1925. These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons: Since 1950, seasons have increased from 9 games to 10, 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. The Red Raiders have played in a bowl game in all but two seasons since 2002. The Big 12 has held a championship game from 1996–2010 and since 2017. Texas Tech played in (and won) the 2025 edition. Since 2018, players have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt. Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit. These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics. Due to COVID-19 disruptions, the NCAA did not count the 2020 season against the eligibility of any football player, giving all players active in that season five years of eligibility instead of the normal four. Since 2000, the Red Raiders have run a high-octane air raid offense, most notably under head coaches Mike Leach, Tommy Tuberville, Kliff Kingsbury, and currently Joey McGuire. The passing and receiving lists are dominated by players from this era, although the rushing lists are not.
The statistics below are updated through the 2025 Big 12 Championship Game. Players active for Tech in 2025 are in bold.
