Georgia graduate place-kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has been included as one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award, which is awarded to nation’s top place-kicker.
Blankenship and the other two finalists – Iowa’s Keith Duncan and Washington State’s Blake Mazza – will be honored at a banquet on Dec. 9 in West Palm Beach, which is hosted by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. A winner will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 12, at ESPN’s Home Depot College Football Awards Show, which will be held at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
Georgia’s last finalist for the Groza Award was Blair Walsh in 2009.
