The Black Knights represent the United States Military Academy (often informally known as "West Point") as an independent in the NCAA's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Although Army began competing in intercollegiate football in 1890, the school's official record book considers the "modern era" to have begun in 1944. 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 1944, 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

Academies also playing FBS football), West Point is a four-year undergraduate program that normally does not redshirt players. This means that for a player to play for four years, he must be good enough to see the field as a true freshman. Relatively few players are prepared to do this, which depresses career records. * In the modern era, the Black Knights have traditionally run an option offense that emphasizes running, including by the quarterbacks. However, Army ran a pro-style offense in the 1970s and the early 2000s, and passing and receiving records tend to belong to players from those eras. These lists are updated through Army's game against Rice on August 30,
