All American RB Blake Corum Returning For Senior Season
Corum rushed for 1,463 yards, 18 touchdowns in 11 games this season
All-American running back Blake Corum announced he will return to the Michigan football team for his senior season.
“I’m a Michigan Man through and through,” Corum told the Rich Eisen Show. “I love playing for the University of Michigan. I love going to the Big House and leaving it all on the field. I love the community and I love interacting with everyone. I think I have unfinished business. I didn’t like the way I went out in the Big House … and so I will be coming back for it all next year.”
Corum, a junior, emerged as one of the best running backs in the nation this season. He rushed for 1,463 yards and 18 touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Before leaving with an injury during the Illinois game, he was one of the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy.
Corum said he tore his meniscus and his MCL. He tried to return for the Ohio State game, but he couldn’t move the way he wanted to.
