Cincinnati Bearcats defensive line duo Jowon Briggs and Dontay Corleone discussed their brotherhood in the first episode of Camp Tapes!
Moving to the Big 12 Conference will come with plenty of obstacles but Briggs and Corleone bring much-needed stability to the defensive unit.
Scott Satterfieldβs coaching staff will lean on Briggs and Corleone to bring consistency and leadership as the program adjusts to Big 12 play.
The Cincinnati products took home All-AAC First Team honors last year and should compete for All-Big 12 recognition this upcoming season.

Briggs will continue to be a significant part of the Bearcats defense alongside veteran defensive linemen Malik Vann, Justin Wodtly and more!
Corleone developed into a dominant force during his redshirt freshman campaign and will be a leader on the defensive front moving forward.
Following an impressive freshman year, Corleone was recently included on the Nagurski Trophy and Outland Trophy preseason watch lists.
The defense has been a formidable force for years but they will take on new challenges in a conference known for high-scoring offenses.

Cincinnati Football: Jowon Briggs brings leadership to the Bearcats talented defensive front
After beginning his career at Virginia, Briggs transferred to his hometown school in 2021 and eventually became a full-time starter last season.
During the premier episode of the Bearcats new series Camp Tapes, Briggs broke down his relationship with Corleone per Cincinnati Athletics.
"βHigher Ground is one of the things that has been a staple at Cincinnati. Once you find out that youβre around so many unselfish brothers, that really just want to come here and dial in the team and lock in the culture that we want to showcase every Saturday against our opponents. I think guys really buy into that as players. Having that pride and the work I put in is something that really speaks volumes for me. From pretty much when he got here to now, weβve been paired up so Iβve luckily had the chance to impart anything I know onto him and help him in any way. Kind of be that brotherly type figure. Hopefully help him out as best I can.β"
