Ole Miss Rebels football statistical leaders

The Ole Miss Rebels football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Ole Miss Rebels 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 Rebels represent the University of Mississippi in the NCAA Division I FBS Southeastern Conference.

Although Ole Miss began competing in intercollegiate football in 1893,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1933. 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:

  • Since 1933, 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.[2] The Rebels have played in 16 bowl games since then, allowing players to accumulate stats for at least one additional game in those seasons. Ole Miss reached the College Football Playoff semifinals in the 2025 season, giving players in that season the opportunity to play in two postseason games.
  • 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.[3] Since 2024, postseason games have not counted against the four-game limit.[4] These changes to redshirt rules have given very recent players several extra games to accumulate statistics.
  • Due to COVID-19 disruptions, the NCAA did not count the 2020 season against the eligibility of any football player, giving all players active in that season five years of eligibility instead of the normal four.
  • The Rebels have accumulated over 5,000 offensive in each of the last eight seasons.

These lists are updated through the 2025 season. Players expected to be active for Ole Miss in 2026 are in bold.
