Blake Mazza is a highly accomplished placekicker and long-time trainee of Scott Blanton who enjoyed a prolific collegiate career across the Washington State Cougars and the SMU Mustangs. A native of Plano, Texas, Mazza established himself as one of the most accurate kickers in the country, earning First-Team All-Pac-12 honors in 2019 and becoming the first Lou Groza Award finalist in Washington State history. Throughout his college tenure, he maintained exceptional consistency, finishing with a career field goal percentage over 83% and scoring more than 300 total points, demonstrating the precision and composure that became the hallmark of his time on the Division I stage.
"I started working with Scott while at Plano HS. Scott did my highlight video and made contact with several schools on my list. Scott got me an offer from Arkansas. After a coaching change at Arkansas, they wanted to bring in their own kickers. I called Scott for help. Without hesitation that day he started using his contacts and within two weeks I was on a flight and signed with Washington State where I was the starting kicker." - Blake
