Early life[]

College playing career[]

Corley Jr. played football as a four-year starting Quarterback at NCAA Division I FCS William & Mary from 1999 to 2002. He signed with the Tribe because of coach Jimmye Laycock's reputation for developing quarterbacks, even though Corley was recruited by Clemson, South Carolina, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech.[1] In , throwing for 2,808 yards and 21 touchdowns he led the Tribe to an 8-4 record, Atlantic 10 title and NCAA I-AA Playoff appearance. Corley still holds many all-time records at William and Mary including passing yards (9,805), total yards (10,948) and touchdown passes (73).[2] In 2014 Corley Jr. was elected into the W&M Athletics Hall of Fame.[3]

Johnson Preparatory Academy in Columbia, South Carolina.[4] Initially hired as the running backs coach for the Nittany Lions, for the 2018 season, Corley was switched to wide receivers coach after the hiring of Ja'Juan Seider, two weeks later.[5] On January 2, 2019 one day after Penn State’s loss to Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl, Corley was relieved of his duties as wide receiver coach for the Nittany Lions.[6]
