Appears to be false information. Contested prod, which was then readded by an IP with the comment "Article originally claimed that he played for MetroStars and Bayer Leverkusen, which are outright lies. It also claimed that he played for the Connecticut Wolves in 2003, but, according to this:, the Wolves didn't play in the USL in 2003. Nothing appears on him when searching US soccer stats database . He fails notability for athletes, as he never played a game as a professional." Bradv  19:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete The claims of notability were hoaxes. No evidence he played for either team on Google except Wikipedia mirrors. Ordinarily this would be a speedy delete as hoax, but he was a Division I college athlete and that part is verifiable, so I would be opposed to speedy in this case.

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 08:10, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V. This does not really have even an allegation of notability. Bearian (talk) 21:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd argue being a Division I college athlete is an allegation of notability, and that part is verifiable, which is the only reason I opposed a speedy. It doesn't make him notable, but it's enough of a claim to stop a speedy. Smartyllama (talk) 02:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 09:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
