The article fails WP:N and WP:BIO The article in its current form is a fluff piece about the subject. While my initial impression was that the article may have been a hoax, I have been able to verify some of the claims in the article. As far as notability is concerned, I have been unable to find any independent coverage of the subject. There is information from West Point's athletic department that he was on the sprint football team for its two national championships, but there are only 6 or 7 total teams that compete for it, not a sort of national championship that would confer notability on individual team members.

 * Delete With the fluff removed, the article is less than a stub. This person is not notable in any way, and the piece itself is badly written, the last name isn't even capitalized. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 23:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete It's probably not a hoax, but I agree that it fails WP:N. No independent coverage, no inherently notable achievements, et cetera. The first results for the name are "goarmysports.com", formspring, Google Plus, and the like. Maniesansdelire (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Far too soon to be considered notable athletic or Army-wise. A search at Google News would be useless as any team coverage would probably only be found at the Army website. SwisterTwister   talk  23:10, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable in any way. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Sprint football is notable. Sprint football players are not.  And I don't see any other measure to grant notability at this time.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Appears to fail WP:BASIC for a stand-alone Wikipedia article. Source searching provided coverage for a different person with the same name, but not for this individual. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
