Contested PROD. Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH. WP:BEFORE has a few hits, such as this, this, and this, but in my opinion not meeting of WP:SIGCOV. No claim to notability outside of being one of the hundreds of thousands of NCAA collegiate athletes. GauchoDude (talk) 15:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
