Michigan's Blake Corum Says Coming To Michigan Is The Best Decision You Can Make In Life

As a senior, Blake Corum is now a veteran running back at the University of Michigan. He's earned the title as RB1, was a Heisman frontrunner in 2022, and has already cemented himself as one of the greatest running backs in Michigan Football history.

With so much experience and adversity under his belt, Corum recently shared what advice he would give to an incoming freshman at the University of Michigan.

"I want to be remembered as not just a football player, not even a student. I just want to be remembered as a good human being, someone that came here and made a difference on the field and off the field." - @blake_corum

"Some advice I would give is to first, come to the University of Michigan," said Corum. " That will be the best decision you could ever make in your life, from just meeting new people to meeting the biggest alumni base in college. It's the perfect university. What I would tell incoming freshman? Be where your feet are, take in each and every moment, and be consistent in everything you do. From the time you wake up, make your bed, and attack your schoolwork. Reach out to people, don't be scared, and network. You don't want to come into your junior year and realize you don't have any connections. Use the University of Michigan because it will set you up for life."

Corum also reflected on his legacy at Michigan, with the realization that his time in Ann Arbor is soon coming to an end.

"As my time is coming to an end as a University of Michigan student-athlete, what do I want my legacy to be remembered as," asked Corum. "I want to be remembered as not just a football player, not even a student. I just want to be remembered as a good human being, someone that came here and made a difference on the field and off the field. I want to be someone that changes people's lives; someone who puts a smile on someone's face; someone who is always here to uplift when people are down. I think that's what means the most in life. It's not about the money, it's not about the fame, it's not about the football. It's just about being a good human being and helping others, and that's how I want to be remembered. I want my legacy to last forever."
