 * Some coverage here. Seems to have been one of the best all-time receivers at his college, although oddly he never played professionally until six years after graduating. Looks to be one of the good ol' 1987 replacements, for which coverage is always tougher to find. Seems to have had a brief stint in the Arena league as well. I suggest Draftify it so I could have more time to search; I'd bet I could find a piece of SIGCOV if given long enough. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:42, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Division III now and then; I wouldn't expect a player from there to turn pro under most circumstances. Mackensen (talk) 21:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Currently lacks the SIGCOV to pass WP:GNG. The first source is a match report which does't really say much about him other than he was a 1980 all-conference wide receiver. First choice would be to Draftify since BeanieFan11 has expressed interest in looking for sources, but I wouldn't object to delete either. Alvaldi (talk) 21:56, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify Delete a search of Newspapers.com comes up with barely a mention. This is the best I could find on a web search. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 21:57, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Draftify Obviously a completely unreferenced BLP is a problem, but if BeanieFan11 is willing to take it under their wing I see no reason not to give them a chance. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 22:24, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Draftify to allow time for BeanieFan (who has expressed an interest in looking for sources and a reputation for finding significant coverage to “save” or expand other articles on sportspeople) or any other user to find coverage on this person. Some may exist as he played at the highest level of his sport, though only for a single game as a replacement person.  Frank   Anchor  22:34, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Here's one from Forest Park Star at NewspaperArchive.com.—Bagumba (talk) 04:33, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Nice find! That's SIGCOV piece number one. Still probably short though, so I'm still at draftify. BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:31, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify Still needs improvement. The person who loves reading (talk) 01:46, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify: To give BeanieFan11 a chance to work on it. Subject of the article currently lacks WP:SIGCOV. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:25, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
