LOOK: Michigan's Blake Corum Looks Jacked In Recent Photo

He put his NFL dreams on pause for another year in Ann Arbor, and he looks more than ready to make another run at a National Championship.

After putting his NFL dreams on pause for another year in Ann Arbor, Michigan running back Blake Corum is attacking the 2023 season with one thing on his mind: unfinished business. 

During his junior season in 2022, Corum rushed for 1,463 yards and 18 touchdowns on 247 carries through the first 11 weeks of the season. He became the first unanimous All-American at any running back or fullback position since Bob Chappius in 1947. Corum was also named Ameche-Dayne Big Ten Running Back of the Year in 2022, the first running back in program history to win the award. 

On Wednesday, photos surfaced from a recent Michigan workout - and Corum's muscle growth is hard to ignore.

Michigan's official team site has Corum listed at 5-8, 210-pounds, but that might be about 10 pounds of muscle short based on the photo above. To put it simply, Blake Corum looks like a solid brick wall wearing Jordan-brand cleats. 

It remains to be seen how Corum's 2023 season will play out, particularly while sharing the load with fellow running back Donovan Edwards. Even with some of the unknowns at play, it's a safe bet that he'll once again be the top running back in the Big Ten Conference and squarely in the Heisman discussion as the season progresses.
