He also led the team with 18.5 tackles for loss of 79 yards, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while adding one interception. Exline was second in the LSC in tackles, just one tackle behind the leader, was tied for first in the conference with 9.5 tackles per game, and led the conference while also tying the UTPB record for tackles for loss in a single season. As a team, the UTPB defense was first in the conference in total yards allowed per game (301.2 ypg), first in passing yards allowed per game (159.9 ypg), and was second in points allowed per game (17.7 ppg).
