*Delete Not seeing anything beyond routine coverage (signings, stats, etc.). Does not pass WP:GNG, WP:NCOLLATH, or WP:NGRIDIRON. ~ RobTalk 13:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Cbl62. Definitely passes GNG, not sure why routine coverage was popping up over profiles when I searched. ~ RobTalk 13:47, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. He was Texas' leading receiver in 2014 with > 1,000 receiving yards and received significant coverage in major media outlets based on his college career.  See, e.g., (1) this profile and (2) this one, both from ESPN.com, (3) this one from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, (4) this one from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, (5) this one from KVUE television in Austin, (6) this from CBS Sports, (7) this from NBC Sports, (8) this from The Dallas Morning News, (9)-(10) this and this (behind paywall) from the Austin American-Statesman, and (11) this from SB Nation. There's enough to satisfy WP:GNG IMO. Cbl62 (talk) 13:41, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Easy GNG decision based on the significant coverage linked by Cbl62 above (thank you for dong all the work), in particular the articles/columns on ESPN, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Morning News, CBS News and Austin American-Statesman. The SB Nation coverage I discount almost entirely, and the NBC News coverage is routine in character.  That said, I would suggest that  withdraw this nomination so we can move on to closer calls than this one.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:55, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as a WP:GNG pass, per Cbl62's excellent research & sources. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
