Washington State Cougars football statistical leaders explained

The Washington State Cougars football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Washington State Cougars 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 Cougars represent Washington State University in the NCAA's Pac-12 Conference.

Although Washington State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1894, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1951. Records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent, and they are generally not included in these lists.

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

These lists are updated through the end of the 2020 season.
