I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet:

After breaking a NCAA Football Championship Subdivision single season record with more than 5,000 passing yards, Eastern Washington University sophomore quarterback Gage Gubrud has been selected as the 2016 FCS Player of the Year by the Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio).

In leading the Eagles to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs and a 12-2 season, Gubrud had 5,160 passing yards to break the FCS record of 5,076 set by Taylor Heinicke of Old Dominion in 2012. Gubrud had 48 touchdown passes and rushed for another 606 yards (a school record for a quarterback) and five scores, finishing with 5,766 yards of total offense to come just 33 from the 22-year-old FCS record of 5,799 set by Alcorn's Steve McNair in 1994. Both yardage marks for Gubrud broke Big Sky Conference and school records held by Vernon Adams Jr. in 2013 (4,994 and 5,559).

Besides his FCS record for passing yards, his 11 games with at least 300 yards passing and 12 with at least 300 yards of total offense are also FCS records. Gubrud broke EWU and Big Sky Conference single season records set by Vernon Adams Jr. in 2013 for passing yards, as well as for total yards of offense, with Gubrud finishing with a total of 5,766. His average of 411.9 yards of offense per game was also a league and school record.

Gubrud has just 13 career starts (11-2 record), but he already owns six of the top eight single game total offense performances in school history (1-2-3-5-6-8) and five of the top 14 passing performances (1-3-6-13-14). In addition, he had an impressive string of 222 passes without an interception, going four full games from Sept. 24 to Oct. 22 without a pick. He had a school-record 551 yards of total offense in the first start of his career, a 45-42 season-opening victory over Washington State of the Pac-12 Conference.

Pretty impressive for EWU to have had 2 qb's since 2002 to put up those kinds of passing numbers.

I'm not sure where Meyer or Nichols ranks in there, but it seems like they'd be included in this list as well. What about Mitchell?

It would be interesting to see rushing yards as well, and yards allowed :-o

I didn't think anyone would be able to surpass VA's 2013 season. Simply incredible.

We had a guy who could sling the pig skin back in the day, unfortunately his 5676 passing yards and 51 tds in 1995 don't count since they didn't start including playoff stats until 2002. Without the playoff games in 95, Dickenson had 4176 yards passing and 38 tds.
