Michigan football star receives more high praise from Pro Football Focus

Michigan football star running back Blake Corum ranked the No. 1 returning RB in the nation

Pro Football Focus, a highly respected football analytics company, has ranked the Michigan Wolverines’ running back room as one of the best in college football for the 2023 season. Both Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are ranked among the top 10 running backs in the nation, with Corum taking the coveted No. 1 spot on PFF’s list. In fact, Corum is the only Big Ten running back to make the list, which also includes notable names like Frank Gore Jr. and Bucky Irving.

Corum’s impressive performance during the 2022 season, where he nearly became a Heisman finalist, has earned him this top spot. Despite suffering a knee injury late in the season, Corum is expected to lead the Wolverines’ offense once again in the upcoming season. Although he missed spring ball due to his injury, Corum is poised to take on new challenges and lead the team to even greater success.

The bar has been set high for Corum, but his determination and talent suggest that he is more than capable of achieving even greater things in the upcoming season. As one of the most highly anticipated returning starters in the country, all eyes will be on Corum and the Wolverines as they strive for excellence on the field.
