Biography:
As a senior, Blankenship was named to the Harrisburg Patriot-News "Platinum 33" team. He was named first team All-Conference by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Bench: 340/Squat: 500 Blankenship reports a 3.0 core GPA

Blankenship: “I can say my strength is my feet. I used to play basketball and I think that’s really helped. I can read the blitz really good and I’m a great pass blocker.

“What I need to work on…speed. Getting up the field, trying to run down linebackers, that’s what I’m trying to work on. Also, staying on my blocks. I have a LB coach I’m working with right now. We’re doing a lot of drills that are focusing on my agility and speed."
