Penn State Nittany Lions football statistical leaders - wikipedia Penn State Nittany Lions football statistical leaders The Penn State Nittany Lions football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Penn State Nittany Lions football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single - game, single - season, and career leaders. The Nittany Lions represent Pennsylvania State University in the NCAA 's Big Ten Conference. Although Penn State began competing in intercollegiate football in 1887, the school 's official record book considers the `` modern era '' to have begun in 1970. 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 1970, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length. The NCAA did n'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, allowing players in most seasons since then an extra game to accumulate statistics. These lists are updated through October 7, 2017, after the first six games of the 2017 season.
