The Louisville Cardinals football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Louisville Cardinals football program in various categories,[1] [2] NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference.
Louisville began competing in intercollegiate football in 1912.[1]
Since the 1940s, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length. The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers. Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[3] Due to COVID-19 , the NCAA ruled that the 2020 season would not count against any player's athletic eligibility, giving everyone who played in that season the opportunity for five years of eligibility instead of the standard four. These lists are updated through the end of the 2021 regular season .
