Blake Corum continues to make the most of his NIL platform.

The Michigan running back has been one of the most successful names in college football when it comes to endorsement deals. He’s taken full advantage of the NCAA allowing athletes to monetize their publicity rights. The senior has even started a business venture flipping houses.

Through it all, however, Corum is making sure to use his hard-earned dollars to give back to the greater Ann Arbor community. For the third consecutive year, the nation’s leader in rushing touchdowns spent his Sunday morning before Thanksgiving handing out 600 turkeys.

The running back handed out 200 turkeys and 200 gallons of milk at three locations throughout Ypsilanti: Sycamore Meadows, Huron Heights and Perry Elementary School.
