UAB Blazers football statistical leaders

The UAB Blazers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UAB Blazers football program in various categories,[1][2] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Blazers represent the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the NCAA Division I FBS American Conference. The football program returned in 2017 after a two-season hiatus.[3]

UAB began competing in intercollegiate football in 1991.[1] Entries on these lists tend to be dominated by more recent players, however, as regular seasons expanded from 11 to 12 games in 2002-03 and permanently in 2006. Additionally, the Blazers have qualified for seven bowl games—specifically in the 2004 season and in each season from 2017 to 2022 (although their planned 2020 bowl game was canceled due to COVID-19 issues). During UAB's tenure in Conference USA (CUSA) from 1999–2014 and 2017–2022, the Blazers also played in the CUSA Championship Game three times (2018–2020), giving the 2018 and 2019 teams a second extra game. Accordingly, those seasons have a disproportionately high amount of entries.

Also of note:

  • 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.[4]
  • Since 2018, players have been allowed to participate in as many as four games in a redshirt season; previously, playing in even one game "burned" the redshirt.[5] Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit.[6] These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics.

These lists are updated through the 2018 season.

During UAB's 2015–2016 football hiatus, the UAB Record Book did not list any sacks records.[1] The 2013 UAB football media guide recorded top performances in sacks,[54] and the 2018 media guide also does so.[2]
