 * Keep as meeting the general notability guideline (substantial coverage received in multiple reliable sources): here's a US News interview with him as one of "The NCAA Tournament's Best Students"; a piece from CBS MaxPreps calling him a "major-college success story", a couple of dedicated pieces on ESPN, and significant local (Michigan) coverage too.
