I believe this article fails WP:NGRIDIRON This athlete hasn't appeared in a regular season game failing criteria #1. I don't think this passes WP:GNG either. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:28, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only significant coverage I find is this concerning an unsuccessful tryout with the NFL. I am not finding signficant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources so as to pass WP:GNG. If additional coverage is found, I am willing to reconsider my 'delete' vote.

Delete Offensive linemen typically don't get any significant coverage other than bruises. I do not see the coverage necessary here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable former mid-major CFB player who signed as a free agent with an NFL team, but did not make the cut for the regular season NFL squad. Curious aside: both the Wikipedia infobox and his Texas State Bobcat player profile (presumably the source for the WP infobox) state that the subject was an Associated Press third-team All-American, and I would have expected an AP All-America, even a 3rd-teamer to attract some coverage in hometown, state and regional media. The claim of making the AP All-America team, however, is factually incorrect. The subject was not selected by AP in 2010 for their All-America team, with 1st, 2nd or 3rd-team honors: [1]. Looks like someone at the Texas State SID was playing a little fast and loose in claiming the AP AA honors, and I could not find any significant coverage of his CFB career in independent reliable sources.

Delete - Does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON. Searches did not turn up enough to show general notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
