Running back Blake Corum is returning to Michigan for his senior season, he announced on the Rich Eisen Show on Monday afternoon. The junior mentioned he has “unfinished business” after Michigan lost in the College Football Playoff semifinals for the second consecutive season.
Corum was one of the nation’s top running backs in 2022, accumulating 1,463 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 12 games. Both marked ranked among the top three in the Big Ten. Although he wasn’t a Heisman Trophy finalist, Corum ultimately finished No. 7 in Heisman voting.
The junior’s season was cut short when he injured his knee against Illinois late in the season. He tried to return for the regular-season finale at Ohio State, but he left that game after just two carries. Corum ended up missing the Big Ten championship game against Purdue and the Fiesta Bowl against TCU after undergoing season-ending surgery.
On the Rich Eisen Show, Corum said he had a torn meniscus and sprained MCL and knew it was going to be difficult to play through the injury.
