Blake Corum made the Doak Walker Award watch list

He’s going to be one of the best in 2022!

Another day, another watch list for Blake Corum.

On Wednesday it was announced the junior Blake Corum made the watch list for the Doak Walker Award. Just on Monday, it was announced that Corum made the Maxwell Award watch list for the most outstanding player in football.

The Doak Walker Award is given to the nation’s premier running back. The award was established in 1989 and it is the only major collegiate football award that requires all candidates to be in good academic standing and on schedule to graduate within one year of other students of the same classification.

Corum is coming off a season where he rushed for 952 yards and 11 scores on the ground. The junior also caught for 141 yards thru the air and one score. Even while missing some time due to an ankle sprain, he still was awarded as an All-Big Ten selection in 2021. Now that Hassan Haskins has left for the NFL, Corum is expected to produce at a high level for the Wolverines in 2022.

The only other Michigan running back that has won the Doak Walker Award was Chris Perry back in 2003.
