Following a spectacular freshman campaign, Cincinnati Bearcats star defensive tackle Dontay Corleone was recently named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-American First Team.

Corleone racked up 45 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in 11 games last season, highlighted by a career-high 11 tackles to fuel the Bearcats over Navy in November.

The Cincinnati native emerged as a dominant defensive tackle during his redshirt freshman season en route to receiving All-AAC First Team and Associated Press All-American honors.
