After an impressive freshman campaign, Corleone was recently named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-American First Team.

Corleone compiled 45 tackles and three sacks last season, highlighted by a career-best 11 tackles against Navy in November.

Scott Satterfield’s staff looks to continue building momentum entering next season and Corleone will be a key part to the success.

The defense has been a formidable force for years but they will face new obstacles in a conference that is known for explosive offenses.
