a big, experienced interior DL with proven SEC pedigree
Corley brought a 6-foot-4, 274-pound frame and SEC experience from LSU to Troy, and Troy’s own notes described him as a key interior cog and even a needed “horse” up front in the 2010 season. His value is the kind that doesn’t always scream in box scores: size, leverage, and rotational reliability inside, plus the toughness to handle dirty-work snaps against the run and collapse pockets. One caution flag: his college career included a medical retirement in 2011, so durability and long-term availability were real concerns.
