This person clearly does not meet Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#American_football.2FCanadian_football. He is still an amateur, a very good one, but has yet to play in a professional game.

• Keep College football players can be notable too. A google search would prove he has enough coverage to pass WP:GNG.--Yankees10 00:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I'm usually all about voting delete on run-of-the-mill BCS players, but it appears this one is notable (best HS cornerback, first-team SEC as frosh) per WP:GNG. — X96lee15 (talk) 17:32, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep WP:NSPORTS is superseded by WP:GNG. Amateurs can be notable. See Tyler Beede, Jeff Hoffman, Trea Turner for a few baseball examples. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:04, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep What I see here is an exception to the basic rule--clearly enough press coverage to pass WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:51, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
