Michigan running back Blake Corum has announced that the 2023 season will be his last in the maize and blue. After a home win over Purdue, Corum said it was his final night game in Michigan Stadium. Before his farewell, the Wolverines will play two road games in Weeks 11 and 12, leading into a highly anticipated noon ET matchup against Ohio State in The Game.
Corum is in his fourth year with Michigan and has played 39 games. He never used a redshirt, but the NCAA’s COVID-19 waiver gave him the option to return for a fifth season in 2024.
Last season, Corum earned Unanimous First-Team All-America honors. He started 12 games and helped lead Michigan to another Big Ten title, finishing with 1,463 rushing yards on 247 attempts and 18 rushing touchdowns.
This season, Corum has rushed for 649 yards and 16 touchdowns on 126 carries. The Wolverines face a major test in Week 11 as they prepare to take on Penn State.
With Corum’s production and accolades, Michigan fans are eager to see what his future holds. Many hope he can help deliver a championship in Ann Arbor before beginning his professional career.
