Lists of Michigan Wolverines football statistical leaders

The Michigan Wolverines football program is a college football team that represents the University of Michigan in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Big Ten Conference. Michigan began competing in intercollegiate football in 1879.^[1] In football, offensive performances have been tracked statistically much longer than defensive ones.^[2] Thus, there are extensive records that document high achievement on offense by Michigan athletes. This list documents the records according to the publicly available University statistical archives.

There are three caveats to be considered with this list. First, archives only include statistics since 1949. Thus, many statistical achievements are ignored. There are two additional biases that give more weight to recent athletic excellence. In 1972, the NCAA allowed freshmen to participate in college football competition.^[3] In addition, college football season have lengthened significantly since Michigan began playing football. Michigan played just three games in 1887.^[4] By 1927, the season had lengthened to eight games,^[5] and by 1967, the Michigan team was playing 10 games a season.^[6] In recent years, Michigan has played 12 regular season games per season plus a bowl game, if elgible.

Second, when freshmen were ineligible to play and seasons were as short as seven or eight games, players could not play more than 25 games in their entire career. Now, a 13-game season is common for modern Michigan football teams and a player may be eligible to play over 50 games in his career. Single-season records and career records are naturally held by more recent players who have been eligible to play more games in a season and who have been eligible to play more seasons. There are several controversies among the lists below resulting from these biases. The most prominent of these include the fact that no Michigan receiver has surpassed Jack Clancy's single-season receptions and single-season yardage records in a 10-game period similar to Clancy's 1966 season. Also controversial is the history of Dick Rifenburg, whose career ended at Michigan in 1948 and whose statistics are not included in the publicly-available statistical archive despite the fact that his 16 career and 8 single-season touchdowns were school records until 1980.^[7]

Third, the rules and dominant styles of play in football have evolved over the years. Originally, football had no passing until 1906 when the rules committee (including Amos Alonzo Stagg) took action to lessen onfield deaths. Passing did not really become popular until the 1930s when both the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Football League adopted standardized football sizes.^[8]

Below are top-25 lists of Michigan Wolverines football receptions, rushing and passing since 1949. The lists include single-game, single-season and career records for each of three statistics: yardage, number (receptions, rushes or passes), and touchdowns. Records for years prior to 1949 are not included in the University of Michigan's statistical records database. Where pre-1949 records are available from reliable sources, they have been included below with yellow shading. Because there is no complete database of pre-1949 records, such records are incomplete and may not be considered "official" records.
