During his sophomore campaign with the Bearcats, Corleone compiled 39 total tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble en route to All-Big 12 honors.

The Colerain High School product collected All-AAC recognition in 2022 and should continue to compete for All-Big 12 accolades throughout next season too.
