Clemson Tigers football statistical leaders
The Clemson Tigers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Clemson Tigers football program in various categories, including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, kicking, and scoring. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Tigers represent Clemson University in the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Although Clemson began competing in intercollegiate football in 1896, the school's official record book does not generally include statistics from before the 1940s, as records from before this time are often incomplete and inconsistent. These lists are dominated  by more recent players for several reasons: These lists are updated through the Tigers' game against Ohio State on January 1, 2021. Total offense. Total offense is the sum of passing and rushing statistics. It does not include receiving or returns. Touchdowns responsible for. "Touchdowns responsible for" is the NCAA's official term for combined passing and rushing touchdowns. Scoring. Clemson does not list single-game scoring leaders in its football media guide. Its officially recognized single-game scoring record is 33 points, set by Maxcey Welch in a 1930 game against Newberry. This is one of the very few  old-time records that the program acknowledges. Touchdowns. Unlike the "Total touchdowns" lists in the "Total offense" section, these lists count touchdowns "scored". Accordingly, these lists include rushing, receiving, and return touchdowns, but not passing touchdowns. As in the case of the single-game scoring record, Clemson does not publish an all-time list of top performances for single-game touchdowns. As in the case of single-game points, the school's officially recognized record in this category comes from the "pre-modern" era. The aforementioned Maxcey Welch scored 5 touchdowns (all rushing) as part of his record 33-point  performance against Newberry in 1930; this equaled Stumpy Banks' performance of 5 rushing touchdowns in a 1917 game against Furman.
