Michigan RB Blake Corum declares for 2024 NFL draft

Fresh off a national title game win, Michigan running back Blake Corum is ready to take his talents to the next level and add to one of the deepest running back classes in years as he declares for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Corum has been one of the most productive players in college football over the past two seasons with the Wolverines, establishing himself as a top-tier playmaker. Over the last two seasons, Corum has put together 2,905 scrimmage yards and an eye-popping 47 touchdowns, all while averaging 5.3 yards per carry. During his junior season, Corum was the front-runner for the Heisman trophy before suffering a season-ending injury late in the year, to which he bounced back the following season.

It’s easy to pop on Corum’s tape and find him making a crucial big time play in big time moments as he became Michigan’s top playmaker over their dominant last two seasons. Corum came up big in the National Championship game, scampering for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Expect Corum to be one of the first backs taken in this class as his playmaking ability clearly translates to the next level and should hear his name called within the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft.
