Final 2025 Big Ten offensive stat leaders

The Big Ten's regular season has come to a close and the Big Ten championship game matchup is locked in. Next week's Big Ten championship game will feature a handful of some of the top offensive stars in the Big Ten with a massive quarterback showdown between Heisman Trophy candidates Fernando Mendoza and Julian Sayin, and plenty of star power at wide receiver for both programs. A glance at the final regular-season stat leaders shows just what kind of impact these players had on their team's respective success.

For the final time this season, here is a look at the Big Ten's top-10 yardage leaders in three offensive categories.

Passing Leaders

USC’s Jayden Maiava leads all Big Ten quarterbacks with 3,431 yards and 23 touchdowns while completing 66.2% of his passes. Right behind him is Rutgers senior Athan Kaliakmanis, who has quietly thrown for 3,124 yards and 20 touchdowns while keeping the Scarlet Knights' offense competitive every week.

Ohio State’s Julian Sayin has the cleanest stat line of any Big Ten QB, tossing 30 touchdowns to just 5 interceptions on an astonishing 78.9% completion rate. Maryland freshman Malik Washington is doing it all, leading the Big Ten in pass attempts (473) while adding 2,963 yards through the air.

Penn State’s Ethan Grunkemeyer ranks 18th with 1,079 yards, 6 touchdowns, and a 69.4% completion rate in 10 appearances. Not eye-popping, but solid production for a true freshman getting his feet wet.
