Season lines from CollegeFootballData, regular season and bowls. A dash: the source has no number for that season (often an FCS season), and career totals count only the numbers on file. Before 2016 our source records only interceptions for most defenders (no tackles, tackles for loss or sacks), so these lines count interceptions only. His tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from other sources are under “Defense before 2016” below.
