Kennesaw State Owls football statistical leaders

The Kennesaw State Owls football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Kennesaw State Owls 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 Owls represent Kennesaw State University (KSU) in the NCAA Division I FBS Conference USA (CUSA).

Kennesaw State began competing in intercollegiate football in 2015,[1] so the typical issues with school records do not exist. There is no period of the late 19th and early 20th century with spotty, incomplete records. Therefore, Owls' records are also not affected by the lengthening of the season to 12 games over the years, the 1972 NCAA decision to allow freshmen to play varsity football, or the 2002 NCAA decision[2] to count bowl games in players' official statistics.

However, other aspects of college football rules and playing conditions have allowed players in select seasons extra games to accumulate statistics.

  • KSU started play as a member of Division I FCS, not joining FBS until 2024. Before a coming change to a 12-game regular season in 2026, FCS regular seasons were normally limited to 11 games. However, two aspects of FCS rules have allowed for more games:
    • The NCAA organizes an FCS championship tournament, currently called the NCAA Division I Football Championship. The Owls reached the FCS playoffs 4 times, playing 9 games in all, before moving to FBS. As in the case of FBS bowl games, the NCAA started counting FCS playoff games toward players' official statistics in 2002.
    • Additionally, pre-2026 NCAA rules allowed FCS teams to schedule 12 regular-season games in years when the period starting with the Thursday before Labor Day and ending with the final Saturday in November contains 14 Saturdays.
  • Since 2018, players in both FCS and FBS have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt.[3] Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit.[4] These changes to redshirt rules have given many KSU players several extra games to accumulate statistics.
  • 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.[5]
  • CUSA has held a championship game since 2005. KSU played in (and won) the 2025 edition.

These lists are updated through the 2025 CUSA championship game. Players active for KSU in 2025 are in bold.
