CINCINNATI — The Bearcats had two football players make the 2024 preseason All-Big 12 team: DT Dontay Corleone and G Luke Kandra.

Both maulers are coming off All-Big 12 seasons. Corleone notched All-Big 12 Second Team honors in 2023 after posting 39 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, and three sacks across 12 starts.

Kandra made the first team last season after tallying an impressive 81.8 PFF grade (third-best among Power Conference guards). He figures to be the top blocker for UC's heavy rushing attack in 2024.
