The Los Angeles Rams selected Michigan football RB Blake Corum with the 83rd pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Corum spent four seasons with the Wolverines, capturing three Big Ten Titles and one national title. Here’s everything you need to know about the record-setting former U-M running back:
Blake Corum scouting report
Corum isn’t known for his size or his speed, yet he has plenty of shiftiness and has a claim to being the best Michigan running back ever. Corum scored a school-record 27 times on the ground last season, which included at least one score in all eight available rushing lanes from left to right. He does the bulk of his work between the tackles and simply knows how to find the end zone; he scored at least one touchdown in in each of the final 26 games in which he wasn’t injured.
Blake Corum height, weight
Corum is listed at 5-foot-7 and weighs in at 205 lbs. He’s a narrative of Marshall, Virginia and attended St. Frances (Md.) Academy.
Blake Corum college stats
Across 45 career games played, Corum tallied 675 carries for 3,737 yards (5.53 yards per carry). He also holds a school-record 58 rushing touchdowns, 51 catches, 338 yards, three receiving TDs.
Blake Corum highlights
Corum had a career’s worth of highlights just last season. Against Penn State, he ran 26 times (U-M didn’t attempt a pass in the second half) as he tallied a season-high 145 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the road win. But the signature play game in the rivalry game against Ohio State. Tied at 17 midway through the third quarter and right after lineman Zak Zinter suffered a season-ending leg injury, Corum ripped through the hole for a 22-yard touchdown run and flashed a 6-5 for his fallen teammate, setting off a frenzy at the Big House, where U-M held on to beat the Buckeyes for a third straight season.
Blake Corum pro day results
Corum led all running backs in bench press reps (27) and then finished second in the three-cone drill (6.82 seconds) and third in the 20-yard shuttle (4.12 seconds) After logging his 4.53-second 40-yard dash, Corum received a 6.15 out of 8 for his workout per Next Gen Stats, which on their metric system equate to a “good backup with the potential to develop into a starter” in the NFL.
