Parent Q & A: Evan Blankenship
08/31/2009
Always fighting back tears, Paula Blankenship is in constant awe of her son and his extraordinary journey as a Buckeye football player. Blessed with fantastic vocals, it is no surprise Evan Blankenship enjoys karaoke with his family. With such talent under his belt, it is intriguing to watch this sophomore offensive lineman sing with such grace one day while being a tenacious force on the line the next. His size has worked to his advantage, as OSU coaches were drawn to him in 10th grade at a camp. Detailing the past 20 years with her son, Paula Blankenship explains who Evan is behind the scenes.
Q: What year did your son start playing football?
A: Evan didn?t start playing football until the 8th grade. After which, he went on to letter all 4 years of his high school football career.
Q: When were you first aware that your son had the potential talent to play at the collegiate level?
A: I would have to say I was first aware of Evan?s potential to play at the collegiate level when he went to his first OSU camp the summer of his high school sophomore year. I vividly remember Coach Daniels being at our check-in table and commenting on Evan?s size. It was at that moment, I knew, he was going to play at the next level.
Q: Did he always dream of playing at OSU?
A: Absolutely! As a child, OSU was always Evan?s favorite team. As he got older, I realized how much he was interested in OSU. Then I looked into the OSU camps and the rest is history..
