This article came to my attention when I noticed a TFD nomination for it's associated navbox. Having looked at the article and done a WP:BEFORE search I am really struggling to see how this award is actually notable. The article as it stands contains a single source from The Sports Network, this is not independent coverage because the award was created and awarded by The Sports Network's CEO.Doing a few further searches turns up a bunch of republished press releases from The Sports Network, e.g., , and some posts by the college the winner attended. I can't see any evidence of third party coverage existing to satisfy WP:N. -Lemonaka‎ 01:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
