Michigan hasn’t been able to beat Ohio State on the field of late, but Big Blue can chalk up a W on the recruiting trail against That School Down South.
In a video posted to his personal Twitter account Thursday, 2020 Maryland running back Blake Corum announced that he has committed to playing his college football at Michigan. Corum’s decision came down to a pair of bitter rivals -- U-M and OSU.
Corum took a visit to the Wolverines this past weekend, to the Buckeyes the weekend before that before making his decision.

In addition to the two Big Ten schools, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, USC, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin, among others, were in on the back. The 5-8, 193-pound recruit said that Ann Arbor “just felt like home.”
“I have really good relationships with [the U-M coaching staff] and they really recruited me the hardest through the whole process,” Corum added.
A four-star 2020 prospect, Corum is rated as the No. 17 running back in the country on 247Sports.com‘s composite board. Corum’s primary recruiter was U-M assistant Jay Harbaugh.
