Corum has been added to multiple different watch lists this summer and for great reason.
Corum started the season off on a high note in 2021 after rushing for over 100 yards in his first three games, and he was arguably Michigan’s 1A option at the position. But once he got a little banged up, Hassan Haskins erupted and took over the lion’s share of the snaps. Even after missing some playing time, Corum still ran for 952 yards and 11 scores on the ground.
With Haskins leaving for the draft and being selected by the Titans, Corum is once again going to be leaned on. He’s going to have plenty of help with former five-star, now a sophomore, Donovan Edwards, but between leadership and versatility, Corum is going to need to be the guy this year for the Wolverines.
Kenneth Walker from Michigan State won the award last year, and for 2022, there are 52 players on the Walter Camp Watch List.
Walter Camp, “The Father of American football,” first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org) – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.
