Central Michigan Chippewas football statistical leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Brown is the Chippewas' career leader in receptions, and his three seasons at Central Michigan are the three highest single seasons on the receptions list. He also holds the single-game record in receptions.
Although Central Michigan began competing in intercollegiate football in 1896,[1] the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1951. 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 1951, 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 Chippewas have played in eight bowl games since this decision, allowing many recent players an extra game to accumulate statistics.
Similarly, Central Michigan has played in the MAC Championship Game three times (2006, 2007, and 2009), giving yet another game to players in those seasons.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2025 season.
