Blake Corum’s GF Makiah Shipp declares herself “the proudest GF in the world” after Michigan RB bags National Championship
The Michigan Wolverines are the national champions and Blake Corum was the hero of the night. He led the team to a rather easy win against the Washington Huskies in Houston, ending a two-and-a-half decade-long drought.
Just after Corum helped Michigan clinch the title, his girlfriend Makiah Shipp took to Instagram to share a photo with him. She declared herself the ‘proudest girlfriend in the world’ after the achievement.
“Proudest girlfriend in the world!” Shipp wrote in her IG story, tagging Corum.
Earlier in the day, she shared another photo of herself in a custom-made Michigan-themed denim jacket. The blue jacket had the slogan ‘Michigan vs Everybody' engraved along with the phrase ‘touchdown king.’

The Blake Corum show vs Washington
Although QB J.J. McCarthy was selected as the most valuable player of the team in 2023, the contributions of Corum cannot be overlooked.
The running back, playing his last ever college football game, ran for 134 yards on 21 carries and managed two rushing touchdowns. His backup Donovan Edwards ran for 104 yards on just six carries and scored two rushing touchdowns.
Together, they made sure that the offense ran smoothly and prevented the Huskies from getting a foothold in the game. It paid off in the end, as the Wolverines won the CFP national championship 34-13.
