Cincinnati defensive lineman Dontay Corleone is out indefinitely while receiving treatment for blood clots found in his lungs, the team announced Friday. Corleone, one of the Bearcats’ top returning players and a 2025 NFL Draft prospect, was a second-team All-Big 12 selection last season.
“I am incredibly grateful to my family and to Aaron Himmler, Dr. Jon Divine, our entire medical staff and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for guiding me through this over the past few weeks,” Corleone said in a statement. “Right now, I am focused on my recovery. My hope is to be able to return to football soon, but in the meantime, I will do everything I can to rehab and help the football program as a leader and mentor to our younger players. I look forward to being around the guys soon. The sky is the limit for the Bearcats this season. I love my teammates, our coaches, this university, this city and of course, this fan base. They have been incredibly supportive of me over the past three years.”
The 6-foot-1, 320-pound Corleone had 39 tackles, 6.5 for loss and three sacks as a redshirt sophomore in 2023. He was a key part of Cincinnati’s first conference win as a Big 12 program, recording four total tackles and a sack in a 24-14 win against Houston.
