 * Keep, appears to pass the general notability guideline with "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," see the following articles which cover the topic "directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content": Notre Dame transfer receiver Michael Young eager to reunite with Denbrock at Cincinnati from the South Bend Tribune; Receiver Michael Young leaves Notre Dame to play for Cincinnati from The Cincinnati Enquirer; ‘It’s a wave’: Michael Young Jr. arrives as a key piece in UC’s rebuild at WR from The Athletic; NFL Draft Profile: Michael Young Jr., Wide Receiver, Cincinnati Bearcats from Sports Illustrated; Michael Young Jr. is the 'beacon' of No. 7 Cincinnati's offense from The Cincinnati Enquirer; Destrehan alum makes splash with Notre Dame from The Herald Guide; Notre Dame WR commit Michael Young bolstered by uncle, former Colt Joseph Addai; and Michael Young, 3-star WR, felt 'at home' during Oregon Ducks visit from Oregon Live.

 * Keep, it does pass general notability guidelines with "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject,". Additionally, this precedence has already been set in wikipedia. There are many NFL player pages on Wikipedia that have had a similar NFL career and remain. What separates this player even further is that he was a high profile player in high school and college and played at a much higher level collegiately than others with a similar NFL career strengthening the need to keep.
