 UC star defensive tackle Dontay Corleone is returning for his redshirt senior season in 2025. Corleone announced the news on X Monday afternoon, providing a major boost to Cincinnati's defense next season.

Corleone hasn't matched the heights he hit in 2022 as a redshirt freshman (93.8 overall PFF grade, best among all college defenders) but he's still been very good over the last two seasons, most recently earning first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2024.

The Godfather posted a 78.1 PFF grade this past season with 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 11 games following his season-opener absence due to blood clots.
