Defense
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.
Defense before 2016
| Season | G | Solo | Ast | Tkl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 7 of 13 | 13 | 10 | 23 |
| 2015 | 9 of 13 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources: ESPN play-by-play participants, via SportsDataverse: tackles only, counted in the games whose play-by-play names tacklers (G: those games, of his team’s), so part of the season, not its total. A dash: the source has no number for it.
