Boise State Broncos football statistical leaders

The Boise State Broncos football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Boise State Broncos 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 Broncos represent Boise State University in the NCAA's Mountain West Conference.

Although Boise State began competing in intercollegiate football as a 2-year college in 1933,^[1] 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.
• Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.^[2] The Broncos have played in a bowl game each year since then, giving players an extra game to accumulate statistics.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2015 season.
