Washington Huskies football statistical leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Washington Huskies football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Washington Huskies football program in various categories. As of the upcoming 2024 season, the Huskies represent the University of Washington in the NCAA Division I FBS Big Ten Conference. Washington's first football season was in 1889.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
- Since 1920s, seasons have increased to 10 or more games.
- 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.
- In 1975, the Pacific-8 Conference removed a restriction which limited the league's bowl game participation to a single representative tied to the Rose Bowl Game.
- The official NCAA record book does not include bowl games in statistical records until 2002,[1] with most colleges also structuring their record books this way.
- The Pac-12, in which Washington was a member from 1915[lower-alpha 1] until its effective demise after the 2023 season, held a championship game from 2011 through 2023. Washington appeared in the game three times, giving players in those seasons yet another game to compile statistics. For 2024 and beyond, with Washington joining the Big Ten, Huskies players have the opportunity for an extra game should the team reach a future Big Ten championship game.
- 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.[2]
- The 2023 team earned a berth in the 2023 College Football Playoff and reached the CFP championship game, thus playing in 15 games.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2023 season. Currently active players are in bold.
