Throughout his career, Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has been one of the most popular players among fans, and for the fourth time this season he has won Special Teams Player of the Week. Last week, Blankenship was named a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award for the third straight year. The award is given annually to the nation’s top kicker.
Blankenship has the numbers to prove why he is a semi-finalist for the award. He has made 15 of his 17 field goal attempts this season, and three of them have been from 50 plus yards or more.
