Two of the more curious stats on your 2009 chart:

1) Kelvin Sheppard averaging 12.6 yards over 5 kick returns. He was a linebacker, so I doubt he was ever in the endzone to receive (I could be wrong)... but that's a decent performance to my amateur eyes for fielding squib kicks further upfield and advancing the ball vs falling on it... or he broke one long one and fought for a couple of yards on the rest. Clement & Foyil behind him are comparatively less surprising.

2) Stefoin Francois getting 5 yards on a punt return with 0 punt receptions. Was this a fumble recovery (from a Holliday/Jones mishandle) & return? Makes sense if so (you have to account for 5 yards somewhere) but just looks a little odd to see the stat like that.

I just did a screen cap from https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/louisiana-state/2009.html#all_returns

So I am not sure. That site does make the occasional mistake

Blocked punts are scored that way as well.
