Freshman Donovan Edwards carving out role in deep Michigan backfield

If Michigan has one position group set three weeks before the start of the season, it’s running back.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday during the “In the Trenches” podcast with host Jon Jansen that returning leading rusher Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum were two of the best players on the team coming out of spring practice. Freshman Donovan Edwards, who arrived for spring drills fresh off winning a state championship with West Bloomfield High, also has quickly made a mark.

“Right now, if we were playing a game tomorrow, playing a game today, playing a game next month, it’s gonna be Blake Corum and Hassan, Hassan and Blake,” Harbaugh told Jansen.
