Offensive linemen carry no statistics because none are published: CFBD reports no snaps, starts, sacks allowed, pressures or blocking grades. That group is ordered by position, then by recruiting stars, then seasons on a roster. That does not change once the season starts. Box scores list players who record a statistic and linemen almost never do — about one per team in a full season, usually a fumble recovery — so the line keeps this order while the rest of the roster reorders around who has played.
