After what was for an intents and purposes ‘Black Friday’ with the Justin Fields transfer and early exits for the NFL Draft, Georgia did end up getting better news on the looking toward 2019 front over the weekend.
First came Saturday with all-american kicker, folk hero and special teams trick play participant Rodrigo Blankenship announcing that he’ll be back for another year in Athens.
Blankenship has already earned his undergrad from the Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communications with cum laude honors, so leaving now would not mean foregoing a degree. For kickers, as you saw in Sunday night’s NFC Wild Card game, are a dime a dozen.
