Of the 1,524 college football players with at least one recorded rush attempt ranked in the 2026 regular season, the top 25 are listed above. No minimum carry threshold is applied. Rushing yards count yards gained on official rushing attempts. Figures are as of October 29, 2026 & are recalculated on StatRankings after each game's play-by-play is processed.
