 * Delete. He was a 2-star high school player who has currently played one season of college football.  He might become notable from press coverage if he continues as a starting quarterback at a D-I school, but he doesn't appear to be there yet.  The sources that are currently in the article consist of (1) recruiting pages of the type that every decent high school prospect has, and which are not sufficient to show notability, and (2) a profile from the Texas State web site, of a type that just about every D-I college player has, which is not independent, and doesn't count in establishing notability.  My search did not turn up significant coverage in mainstream media sources.  If I have missed sources, I am willing to reconsider, but for now this looks like a "delete" which is without prejudice if Jones becomes notable in the years ahead.

 * Delete - Non-notable college football player. Subject may be notable in the future, but he's not there yet.  Not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records), and coverage is lacking in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.  This is an excellent example of why we severely discount hometown newspaper coverage of high school athletes, and completely disregard recruiting sources such as Rivals.com and Scout.com in determining the notability of college football players.

 * Delete does not seem to meet notability threshhold for any measure that I can find at this time. Try another wiki--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:22, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete No sign of notability. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NGRIDIRON, and WP:NCOLLATH. Jakejr (talk) 03:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
