Ok I'll withdraw this, there's more coverage here than what I found. Joeykai (talk) 17:13, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for keeping an open mind, Joeykai. Too often, people get stubborn about these things. Cbl62 (talk) 18:52, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @Joeykai: I'm finding a ton of coverage on this guy. Did you comply with WP:BEFORE prior to nominating? You might want to consider withdrawing it. Cbl62 (talk) 10:39, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is a ton of significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources, ranging from The New York Times to The Ithaca Journal. This is a clear WP:GNG pass. (I have now added a small portion of the coverage to the article.) Cbl62 (talk) 11:32, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly notable. Jweiss11 (talk) 12:40, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can I get a source that he played quarterback at Colgate? Joeykai (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it's in the article. here it is--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
