Louisiana Tech’s steady special-teams anchor
Blankenship is a proven long snapper who has been one of Louisiana Tech’s most reliable special-teams pieces, earning first-team All-Conference USA in 2021 and all-conference recognition in 2020 and 2019. In 2021, he appeared in all 12 games and helped the Bulldogs limit breakdowns, with only one blocked field goal and one blocked punt, while supporting strong kicking and punting production. The big differentiator here is trust: low-drama, high-precision, and consistently clean snaps — exactly the kind of hidden value a winning team loves.
