Defense before 2016
| Season | G | Solo | Ast | Tkl | TFL | Sacks | PBU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 10 | 8 | 8 | 16 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2013N | 12 | 25 | 24 | 49 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 2015E | 6 of 12 | 13 | 8 | 21 | – | – | – |
Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources, marked by season: unmarked, cfbstats.com (Open Data Commons Attribution License), its game lines summed (G: the games he has a line in); N, NCAA statistics, via octonion/football, the season’s official lines (G: games played); E, 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.
