 * Keep He was a starter on Alabama's national championship team, and his picture was on the 12/14/09 cover of Sports Illustrated.  See SI cover here.  Aside from the SI cover photo, there's enough non-trivial coverage (i.e., not passing references in game coverage) in the mainstream media, including USA Today, to establish notability.

 * Comment: Instead of (implicitly) arguing that this is not a well-researched AfD submission, you could have rescued the article with this truck load of links. Are you still going to do that? --Pgallert (talk) 08:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply. I wish I had the time to improve every college football article.  I spent hours last night researching this and other AfDs.  I have also spent many hours in the past two weeks rescuing college football articles of living people that are completely unsourced.  The immediate goal here was to determine whether this article should or should not be deleted.  What I will do for now is to add the list of article citations to the article talk page in hopes that an interested Alabama Crimson Tide fine will pick up the mantle.

 * Keep Cbl62's research is very compelling. I would like to see it added to the article, but I don't want to do it.  Our discussion here should be "is the subject notable" not "is the article complete" --Paul McDonald (talk) 13:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Withdraw Subject is clearly notable after another great research effort by Cbl62, so I'll withdraw this nomination. Cheers,-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 18:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
