Undrafted free agent who does not pass WP:ATHLETE. Good faith search has only recent news and this article about his recent signing doesn't mention anything like awards that warrant notability. Being released today doesn't help his cause. Giants27 T/  C  20:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - I've been as guilty as anyone of creating too many articles of non-notable athletes on the cusp of a pro career. That's why I'm trying to avoid that and get others to do the same. This player simply doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:ATHLETE yet.► Chris Nelson Holla! 21:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Until he plays a pro game or earns some notable coverage, he fails WP:ATHLETE, and his chances of doing so are greatly diminished by his being released and undrafted. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 00:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Only media coverage I found is in Pensacola News Journal and Scout.com; first is about him getting signed as a UFA, second is about him potentially being drafted. I don't think this alone qualifies as significant coverage, and thus fails WP:BIO (unless someone else can provide more). He also seems to fail the additional criteria of WP:ATHLETE: (1) I don't believe he has played professionally (he tried out for the CFL before college, but does not appear to have played), and (2) did not play at the highest amateur level of American football, which is Division I FBS (Concordia is NAIA).
