Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has earned yet another prestigious SEC award.
On Thursday, it was announced that Blankenship had been named the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for football.
Blankenship is Georgia’s fourth winner of this award. David Greene (2004), Aaron Murray (2013) and Chris Conley (2014) are Georgia’s previous recipients.
With a 3.71 GPA, Blankenship graduated cum laude with a degree in Digital and Broadcast Journalism in 2018 and is currently working toward a master’s degree in journalism.
Blankenship is the school’s all-time leading score, a record he broke this season, and the conference’s second all-time leader in points scored.
He has been named the SEC’s Special Teams Player of the Week six times this season.
