Versatile EIU Forward With a Proven Rebounding Edge
Blanford is a **6-6, 215-pound forward** for Eastern Illinois who has already shown he can impact winning with size, scoring touch, and board work; over his EIU career he finished with **771 points and 455 rebounds**, averaging **12.4 points and 7.2 rebounds** per game, and his stat line reflects a reliable inside presence rather than a high-variance role player. [4][7] He’s the kind of forward who gives a team toughness, rebounding, and steady production in the paint, making him a fit for programs that value physicality and consistency over flash. [2][4][6]
