Blake Corum of Michigan says attending Michigan is the best choice you can make in life.
Corum recently discussed the advise he would provide to a new student at the University of Michigan, having overcome a great deal of hardship and experience.
At the University of Michigan, Blake Corum is a seasoned running back in his senior year. He has established himself as one of the finest rushing backs in Michigan Football history, earning the moniker of RB1, and was a 2022 Heisman contender.
“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.”
