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). A dash: the source has no number for it.
