Michigan football's Blake Corum was named the Big Ten Running Back of the Year as the conference unveiled its offensive end-of-season honorees on Wednesday.
Corum, considered to be on a short list of Heisman Trophy candidates, was third in the Big Ten in rushing yards (1,463; eighth in the nation) and average (121.9) and second in touchdowns (18). The 5-foot-8 junior is also a finalist for the Doak Walker Award for the nation's best running back.
The Wolverines RB was named to the All-Big Ten first team by both the coaches and the media, along with offensive lineman Zak Zinter.
