Former Georgia walk-on kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has impressed in the 2025 United Football League season playing for the St. Louis Battlehawks, going a perfect seven for seven on field goal attempts. In a recent game against the DC Defenders, despite a 27-15 loss, Blankenship stood out by making a career long 56-yard field goal, surpassing his previous record of 55 yards set during his time at Georgia.
With five of his successful field goals being over 40 yards, Blankenship's performance highlights his impressive range in the UFL. As one of six former Georgia players in the league, his consistent kicking may attract attention from NFL teams, potentially earning him a training camp invite post the UFL season. The Battlehawks are set to face the Arlington Renegades next, with Blankenship aiming to maintain his solid form showcased in his recent games.
