From the college statistics table in Dorsey’s Wikipedia article (Glenn Dorsey, CC BY-SA), season by season as the article gives them, bowls included where it counts them. Our own records come from box scores, which start in 2004 (tackles in 2016, kickoff returns in 2009).

The teams in those years

No defensive lines in our box scores: before 2016 they record only interceptions for defenders. His defense from other sources is below.

Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources: NCAA statistics, via octonion/football, the season’s official lines (G: games played). A dash: the source has no number for it.
