 * Keep. Please note WP:Athlete is a standard for automatic inclusion if someone played pro ball, but it is not a standard for deletion for a college player who never played in the pros.  The long-accepted standard is that a college football player who meets general notability guidelines is fine.  Here, Heckendorf meets general notability guidelines in five ways.  First, he holds the all-time Wisconsin state high school record for career receptions, yards and touchdowns -- per these sites .  Second, his 1,589-yards receiving in a single season ranks 8th in US national history for a high school player - per this article.  Third, he is the #1 all-time receiver in the history of his college.  Fourth, he was named the FCS national co-offensive player of the week by The Sports Network after for the first week of the 2008 season (see here).  Fifth, he has been the subject of extensive non-trivial coverage in mainstream media outlets.  Examples of stories focusing on Heckendorf as their subject (i.e., not just passing mention in game coverage) includes: (1) Packers rookie receiver says he’s ’living a dream’, Boston Herald (article by Associated Press), August 11, 2009; (2) HECKENDORF'S DREAM NEARS REALITY,  THE ROOKIE RECEIVER FROM MOSINEE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY TO MAKE HIS LAMBEAU FIELD DEBUT, Wisconsin State Journal, August 11, 2009; (3) Heckendorf on hand for opener,  Bison senior back to practice after recovering from Lyme disease, Grand Forks Herald, August 2, 2008; (4) WR Kole Heckendorf reflects on his summer with the Packers, Green Bay Press Gazette, September 28, 2009; (5) Lions sign ex-Green Bay Packers WR Kole Heckendorf to practice, Green Bay Press Gazette, Oct 12, 2009; (6) Mosinee native joins Detroit Lions, Wausau Daily Herald, Oct 13, 2009; (7) Packers sign Mosinee grad Kole Heckendorf as free agent, WAOW, Apr 26, 2009; (8) Mosinee's Heckendorf Living the Packer Dream, May 4, 2009; and (9) Heckendorf on hand for opener,  Bison senior back to practice after recovering from Lyme disease, Grand Forks Herald, August 2, 2008.
