A former walk-on (now on scholarship) from Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Blankenship was one in a mix of replacements for long-time kicker Marshall Morgan. Blankenship and William Ham fought for roles early in Kirby Smart's inaugural season. Blankenship won the job.

Oklahoma had just scored a touchdown with ten seconds left in the first half to stretch its lead to 31-14. With only six seconds on the clock, Kirby Smart had Jake Fromm throw a nine yard completion to Terry Godwin. It gave Blankenship a chance at the longest field goal of his career. The Sooners called a timeout to ice him. Still, Blankenship lined up and confidently booted it for three crucial points as the Bulldogs embarked on a second half comeback.

Blankenship lit up Georgia Twitter in 2016 when he kicked the game winner vs. Kentucky and then conducted the postgame interview with his helmet on. Between his black goggles and quirky personality, Blankenship has become a fan favorite. He regularly gets the loudest ovation in Sanford Stadium pre-game festivities.

Blankenship has become a social media celebrity with the hashtag #RespectTheSpecs. Below, he poses for a photo with Ric Flair.

Social media also responded well to the photo of Blankenship and Quavo from the Rose Bowl.
