Earl Bennett's 236 career receptions were a record until Jordan Matthews broke it 6 years later.

The Vanderbilt Commodores football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Vanderbilt Commodores 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 Commodores represent Vanderbilt University in the NCAA's Southeastern Conference.

Although Vanderbilt began competing in intercollegiate football in 1890, the school's official record book considers[1] the "modern era" to have begun in 1946. 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 1950, 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 Commodores have played in five bowl games since them.
  • The 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons, all played under head coach James Franklin, are the three-highest scoring Commodore seasons of the modern era, and three of the four seasons with the most offensive yards.[1]
