Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources: cfbstats.com (Open Data Commons Attribution License), its game lines summed (G: the games he has a line in). A dash: the source has no number for it.
On the roster
As each season’s roster listed the player (CollegeFootballData). Classes before the latest listing are counted back from it; “Yr 1” is the year on file where that count can’t place a season he played (a redshirt, transfer or 2020 year); height and weight as last listed.
