Clemson Tigers football statistical leaders

Quarterback Tajh Boyd holds Clemson's career passing and total offense records.

The Clemson Tigers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Clemson Tigers 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 Tigers represent Clemson University in the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference.

Although Clemson began competing in intercollegiate football in 1896,[1] the school's official record book does not generally include statistics from before the 1940s, as records from before this time are often incomplete and inconsistent.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

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