Summary
Dontay Corleone burst onto the scene as a redshirt freshman in 2022, leading all defensive tackles in college football in run-stop percentage. After recording 27 run stops that season, he managed just 30 over the next three years, as his career was briefly sidelined by a pulmonary embolism in 2024. There’s no question about the athlete on tape, but his weight, conditioning and consistency are major question marks entering the NFL.
