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. In
2001, 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). In 2014 Corley Jr. was elected into the W&M Athletics Hall of Fame. ==Coaching career==
