Fails WP:ATHLETE and without any other evidence of notability, does not merit inclusion right now. May well have a bright future ahead of him; no prejudice against future inclusion. I just don't see notability today. Frank |  talk  01:57, 3 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Based on MSU's top three running backs for Saturday's game -- in no particular order -- are redshirt freshman Caulton Ray and true freshmen Larry Caper and Edwin Baker, Dantonio said', as quoted in the article? Frank  |  talk  21:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The source discussed is from a month ago; it's possible that additional coverage since will bolster notability. On point, WP:ATHLETE includes "People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport", which for football would be NCAA Football. Since there's a pro level above it, though, that might not be enough. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep almost went with Delete on this one, but then saw his starting status at Michigan State. Article needs work, but it should be a snap for someone to get it up to snuff.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ATHLETE and the brief discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability. There is a difference between being a good college football player and being a notable college football player. WP:NOT applies here since coverage generally reflects stats and line-up changes.
