Blake Corum won’t be available for the rest of No. 2 Michigan’s 2022 campaign, according to a report. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network shared Thursday that Corum is out for the rest of U-M’s season, a crushing blow to the Wolverines’ national championship hopes.
Corum will reportedly have knee surgery. In the regular-season finale against Ohio State, Corum rushed twice for 6 yards.
Sources: #Michigan star RB Blake Corum is expected to have knee surgery and is out for the season. The Heisman candidate should make a full recovery. He tried to play last week vs. Ohio State but his knee made it impossible.

Corum played a huge role in leading Michigan to an 11-0 start in 2022, rushing for 1,457 yards and 18 touchdowns this season. He had emerged as one of the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy.
The Wolverines are 12-0 after defeating Ohio State 45-23 in Columbus to secure a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game. U-M appears to be safe to make the final 4 regardless of Saturday’s outcome.
