Michigan 2023 Heisman Odds: Blake Corum & J.J. McCarthy

Few fan bases take their college football – and football betting odds – more seriously than Michigan.

That intensity has helped build some pretty outstanding teams over the years. Jim Harbaugh is at the helm of another one in 2023, and the Wolverines have a real shot as some big-time hardware. 

That includes a very serious line on a third consecutive College Football Playoff berth, which is why Michigan’s college football national championship odds are so high in the table. 

However, don’t forget about Michigan’s top two offensive players, who both have a real shot at the Heisman Trophy this year. 

Blake Corum Heisman Odds

Blake Corum, the Michigan running back, is +4000 to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy.

Corum piled up a whopping 1,463 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns during Michigan’s 2022 campaign. He finished seventh in the final Heisman voting. 

J.J. McCarthy Heisman Odds

J.J. McCarthy, the Michigan quarterback, is +1800 to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy. 

McCarthy flirted with top-end Heisman relevance during the middle of last season before falling back into the pack. If Michigan remains atop the Big Ten this year, McCarthy could be a powerful player in the Heisman betting market. 

Michigan Heisman Winners

Three Michigan players have won the Heisman Trophy throughout the history of college football: Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard, and Charles Woodson.

Howard and Woodson, the most famous of the two, both won the award during Michigan’s excellent 1990s. 

Howard won the award in 1991, famously imitating the Heisman Trophy pose after scoring a punt return touchdown against Ohio State.

Woodson became the only defensive player to ever win the Heisman.

Tom Harmon, who won the award in 1940, was a running back. The same year he won the Heisman, he also won the Maxwell Award, AP Athlete of the Year, and Big Ten MVP. He was a consensus All-American in both 1939 and 1940. Michigan also retired his No. 98 jersey.
