Method

  • Every defender who played at Baylor since 2004, ranked by interceptions over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
  • Tackles and sacks are only recorded since 2024, so the defenders are ranked by interceptions. A defender is in a box score only in a game he has a stat in, so his games aren’t counted.
  • The numbers here start in 2004, so a defender who played at Baylor before then isn't here.
  • A decade counts his interceptions at Baylor in its seasons.
