Does not meet WP:ATHLETE which states for college athletes to be considered notable they must have met one of the following:

1.Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major Division I (NCAA) record.

2.Were inducted into the hall of fame in their sport (for example, the College Football Hall of Fame).

3.Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team.

The article notes that he was 2013 US Army all-American, however, this is an award he received in H.S. not in College, and should not be confused with the American Football Coaches Association All-America team, which would be considered notable. -War wizard90 (talk) 05:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Preliminary note. WP:NCOLLATH is an inclusive standard.  College players may also qualify under WP:GNG if they have been the subject of significant coverage in mainstream media sources.  I haven't had a chance to assess yet, and some of the coverage appears routine, but there are some articles on him that turn up in a simple google search. They include:, , , , , , , .

 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:NCOLLATH and all of the coverage is from the local paper which I believe is not enough to meet GNG. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 18:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't believe that the Denver Post and USA Today should be considered a local paper on the subject of a football player from Missouri who goes to college in South Dakota. There is a LOT of coverage here, more than just "stats listings".  Granted most of it is local and perhaps regional, but there's some national exposure.  Worthy of a stub.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:51, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I read the Denver Post article and it appears he had a scholarship offer from Northern Colorado. That is why a football player from Missouri who goes to college in South Dakota is addressed in a Colorado newspaper.  Potential football recruit news is just WP:ROUTINE.  Therefore, I don't give the Denver Post 3 sentence article any weight. RonSigPi (talk) 00:00, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete FCS special teams player is going to have a rough road to WP:GNG. Not seeing GNG being met here.  Almost everything is local, and even the most generous view of the non-local coverage just focuses on the U.S. Army All American Bowl.  At best, this still falls under WP:BIO1E.
