Michigan football running backs coach Jay Harbaugh doesn't expect practice cancellations to hold back freshman Blake Corum.

In fact, he expects a smooth transition from the four-star running back.

That's because Corum was an early enrollee and was able to join the Wolverines for Citrus Bowl practices. He has gotten acclimated to the program and has been studying the playbook. After spring ball was canceled March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic, he joined the team in virtual learning and hasn't missed a beat.
