The Michigan Wolverines will be getting a key piece of their offense back in 2024 in running back Donovan Edwards, who finally gets an opportunity to lead the backfield after splitting carries with Blake Corum over the last couple years.
For Edwards, replacing Corum will not be easy. The Marshall, Virginia native was a back-to-back 1,000-yard rusher in 2022 (1,463 yards) and 2023 (1,245). He nearly posted another 1,000-yard rushing season in 2021 (952), as Michigan led the NCAA in rushing touchdowns that season with 39. With Corum’s help, the Wolverines would replicate that same feat in 2023 with 40 rushing touchdowns, and also finished second in 2022 with 41.
