NCAA BCS quarterback that received nothing more that WP:ROUTINE coverage. Not highly-recruited, started 4 games in 3 years and never received any conference or team awards. The notability tag on the article has been there about 2 years. X96lee15 (talk) 21:34, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nom and I did not find substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep like it or not, starting quarterbacks for Division I FBS typically generate more than enough press to surpass WP:GNG--even those that start for only 4 games. Typically such articles are kept.  Based on the coverage in natioanl publications and websites such as ESPN, I see no reason to make an exception here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Routine Google News results; no obvious claim to notability. There may be a need for a broader discussion about how to evaluate college players and the GNG, given ESPN's massive coverage of the sport. An FBS QB who played in 11 games over three years isn't notable on that basis unless he's done something else. Mackensen (talk) 12:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd be interested in argumentation saying that a subject matter is not notable because it gets too much press coverage.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:24, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. He had won a battle that was talked about frequently, but once he became the starter he didn't last long, and had no notable achievements. DMC511 15:56, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
