Zach Corna brings instant tackling pop to Bucknell’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Bucknell safety Zach Corna emerged as a fast-rising defensive presence, finishing third on the team with 54 tackles, earning Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors, and flashing playmaking chops with a pass breakup that became an interception setup against Richmond[1][8]. The best part of his profile is the no-nonsense, ball-hawking feel Bucknell praised in his signing notes—“savvy” with a nose for the football—which fits a player who already proved he can handle contact, stay active in space, and make tackles from the back end[1][12].
