 * Delete or userfy. I agree that the subject has not played professionally, but that is only one measure of many for establishing notability.  Barring that, I took a look at WP:GNG to see if I could find significant coverage of the individual in reliable third party sources.  While a basic websearch does turn up oodles of hits for the individual, from what I could tell most were fan blog sites.  I found only basic passing mentions of the subject in a few news sources.  It is possible that the individual could achieve notability in the future (perhaps in just a few months) so if the article creator or some other enthusiastic editor would agree to userfy the article, that's my preferred choice.  Barring that, Delete is the option to choose.  But to summarize, college football athletes can achieve notability without playing professionally.  This one has yet to make that mark.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Unless his 2011 Freshman All-American award came from a major, recognized group and that could achieve notability. I found no evidence of that in my search, but Artoo  does admit that his own range is far too weak to abandon all hope.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur with Paul's comment immediately above.  This is a young college football player of marginal notability.  Does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines of either WP:NGRIDIRON because he has not played in a regular season professional game, or WP:NCOLLATH because he has not won a major college sports award.  Therefore, the subject must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, and I don't see in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.  Delete, but userfy content upon request of article creator; he may prove notable during his remaining college eligibility.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
