Per GoBearcats:
Redshirt freshman nose tackle Dontay Corleone emerged as a star in his first season, finishing the season as the highest-graded defensive player in the entire country by Pro Football Focus College (93.9), while rotating with senior Jowon Briggs as the anchor of the Bearcats’ defense.
Corleone grabbed Third Team All-America honors from PFF on Friday. He joins Pace Jr. as Cincinnati All-America selections in 2022.
He was also named First Team All-AAC last week after tallying 44 tackles, three sacks, 5.5 TFLs, two forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 11 games this fall.
