Ranks are over the players on a 2026 FBS roster who have been read, counting only those who recorded that statistic in 2025 — how many that is. Rate statistics are shown without a rank, because ranking them without a qualifying minimum would put one long run above a whole season of them.

The season total counts every game. A game appears above only when the source recorded something for him in it, so the rows can be fewer.
