  Preseason watch lists are starting to flow out ahead of the 2025 college football season, including the Walter Camp Preseason All-America picks.

Dontay Corleone was the lone Bearcat to make that group as a second-team defensive tackle. He was one of eight defensive tackles picked for the two teams.

Corleone notched a career-high in snaps (445), sacks (three), and quarterback pressures (27) during the 2024 season. He did that while coming off of summer blood clots that threw a big wrench in the season lead-up.

He will hopefully stay fully healthy over the next two months and be ready to fire out of a cannon against Nebraska.
