Entering the 2025 season, there have been 20 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Aggies football history.

Six Aggies have twice rushed for 1,000 yards in a season. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel isn’t on that list, but he did set the Texas A&M record for most rushing yards by a quarterback, when he rushed for 1,410 yards in 2012, the year he won the Heisman.
