Jim Harbaugh believes Blake Corum is ‘the frontrunner’ for the Heisman Trophy

Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh joined Jon Jansen on the Inside Michigan Football radio show on Tuesday, where he routinely has spoken highly of running back, Blake Corum. But this time it came with a slightly different tune — a confidence that his star player could win the greatest individual achievement in college football.

“There was a time there maybe four, five games ago where I would have thought, ‘Yeah, he deserves to be in New York for the Heisman Trophy,’ Harbaugh said, “Now, I think he is the frontrunner for it.”

Harbaugh contributes it to Corum’s overall body of work by picking up first downs and yards after contact.
