The SMU Mustangs football statistical leaders page ranks the program's greatest individual performers across passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defense, kicking, and scoring. Because the official record book only tracks the "modern era" starting in 1945, these lists are heavily skewed toward recent players, thanks to 12-game seasons, freshmen being allowed to play since 1972, and bowl games counting toward stats since 2002. Additional boosts came from relaxed redshirt rules (allowing four games of action), the COVID-19 eligibility waiver in 2020, and SMU's move in 2024 to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), which features a championship game and gave the Mustangs a College Football Playoff first-round appearance. The lists, updated through Week 2 of the 2026 season, have notable quirks; for instance, total offense combines only passing and rushing, while "touchdowns responsible for" excludes receptions and returns. In kicking, the official record book omits a full top-10 for field goal percentage, but third-party data from Sports-Reference fills that gap. Finally, scoring lists count rushing, receiving, and return touchdowns but not passing touchdowns, and all active players are marked in bold.
