Draft Profile: Bio
Dontay Corleone from Colerain High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Corleone joined Cincinnati.In 2022 as a freshman Corleone saw action in 11 games and played a total of 329 snaps for the Bearcats. He recorded 30 tackles, 15 assists, while adding 31 stops. As a pass rusher, he added 16 total pressures, which included 11 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and 3 sacks on the season.
As a sophomore for the Bearcats in 2023 Corleone played in 12 games and took part in 440 snaps for the Bearcats. He recorded 24 tackles, 6 assists, while adding 20 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 17 total pressures, and 14 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 2 sacks during the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
- Corleone has a compact build, but Corleone is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
- Quick off the snap in the pass rush, he has violent hands and a good feel for working inside counter moves.
- Penetrates through gaps, often forcing running backs to elude him or the back end of the offensive lineman he's pushing before they even reach the line.
- With a powerful lower body and the ability to hold up at the point of attack as a run defender, he is remarkably instinctive.
- Corleone is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and he displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Corleone doesn’t have a lot of suddenness to his game, and Corleone won’t wreck plays on a regular basis.
- Must improve hand use and read-and-react skills. Lacks the violent hands to shed and can be eliminated by double-team blocks.
- Corleone struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher.
