The Boise State Broncos football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Boise State Broncos football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, all-purpose yardage, defensive stats, kicking, and scoring. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. As of the current 2026 season, the Broncos represent Boise State University in the NCAA Division I FBS Pac-12 Conference.
Although Boise State began competing in intercollegiate football as a 2-year college in 1933, the school's official record book only includes 1968 and later, when Boise State became a 4-year college.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons: Since 1968, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length. From 2001, when Boise State joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC; now known as the United Athletic Conference), to the school's final season in the Mountain West Conference (MW) in 2025, the Broncos were in the same football conference as Hawaii, with the sole exception of the 2011 season (Boise State's first MW season, with Hawaii still in WAC football). This is relevant because NCAA rules allow a team that plays at Hawaii to schedule an extra regular-season game. However, when Hawaii joined MW football in 2012, the two schools were placed in separate football divisions, which meant that the Broncos would only visit Hawaii once every four years. Additionally, while Boise State has been eligible to schedule an extra game twice since the teams were reunited in the MW (in 2012 and 2016), it did not do so in either season. Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002. The Broncos have qualified for bowl games in every season since then, giving players an extra game to accumulate statistics in all seasons except 2018, when their bowl game was suspended during the first quarter due to severe weather and ultimately canceled without play resuming; 2020, when the Broncos opted out of playing a bowl game amid the COVID-19 pandemic; and 2021, when COVID-19 issues within the program forced the Broncos to pull out of their scheduled bowl game. During their MW tenure, the Broncos played in the MW Championship Game eight times since that game was established in 2013 (specifically in 2014, 2017–2020, and 2023–2025), giving players in those seasons yet another game 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. From 2018 through 2025, players were allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt. In 2024 and 2025, postseason games did not count against the four-game limit. These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics. A more recent change likely to significantly affect future career leaderboards was introduced in 2026 with full implementation starting with the 2027 freshman class. Going forward, redshirting will be prohibited, but players will have five years of full athletic eligibility, provided that they are no older than 19 when they first enroll in a postsecondary institution. Players who had remaining eligibility under previous rules at the end of the 2025 season will benefit from the new rule.
These lists are updated through Week 5 of the 2026 season. Players active for Boise State in 2026 are in bold.
