UCF Knights football statistical leaders explained

The UCF Knights football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UCF Knights football program in various categories,[1] [2] [3] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Knights represent the University of Central Florida in the NCAA Division I FBS Big 12 Conference.

UCF began competing in intercollegiate football in 1979. Unlike many college football teams that began play much earlier, all of UCF's full box scores are available, meaning there is no pre-modern era of incomplete statistics.

These lists are updated through UCF's game against Boise State on September 2, 2021.
