 * Delete striking per below This appears to be WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer  T · C  11:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify Though there is some coverage for him, I think the best move would be to move to draft for the time being. If he is announced as the starting quarterback, I think it will meet GNG at that point. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 15:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's fair to consider this article as falling within WP:TOOSOON, but he will almost certainly be notable later this year, if he is not already. He is expected to be Oklahoma's starting quarterback this year, and the current betting odds rank him No. 3 as a likely candidate to win the 2020 Heisman Trophy. See here and here. Eddy's suggestion to draftify probably makes more sense than outright deletion. Cbl62 (talk) 01:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with draftify. We don't yet know if he'll be Oklahoma's quarterback, and we can't assume that. We can move it over once he starts for them, assuming he'll generate the coverage to go along with that. SportingFlyer  T · C  03:21, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * "We don't yet know if he'll be Oklahoma's starting quarterback ..." We agree, and that's why WP:TOOSOON applies, and draftifying seems like the prudent middle course. That said, if the No. 3 Heisman prospect doesn't end up starting, that would be remarkable (and perhaps Wiki-notable) in itself. Cbl62 (talk) 04:02, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Of course - was just clarifying my vote change. SportingFlyer  T · C  05:09, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Draftify per above. Cbl62 (talk) 05:57, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify per all above. Will be notable as soon as Summer/Fall 2020, but right now, it's simply WP:TOOSOON. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify per all above. The coverage he has currently received puts him just a bit below passing WP:GNG, but he'll likely pass GNG by mid-fall at the latest given the amount of national coverage starting QBs of schools such as Oklahoma receive. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
