Doesn't look notable. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, as he was suspended or injured, missing every potential game of his NFL career. He was on the XFL practice squad, so that doesn't really count for anything, either. Current sourcing either doesn't mention him, is brief transactional notices, or is tweets/blogs. Some briefish coverage here, and some more brief stuff here. Okay Bleacher Report piece, but it's mostly some scouting stuff and doesn't say a whole lot about him. This guy just doesn't seem to meet the notability requirements, although I'd say he's closer than some. Hog Farm _Bacon 21:07, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets GNG - he was highly recruited out of high school. In addition to the sources mentioned above, I was able to dig up [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Decent amount of coverage for an offensive lineman. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:48, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete fails WP:NGRIDIRON and I don't think the coverage above is non-routine, reliable, or not-youth-sportsy enough to get him over the WP:GNG bar for an article. SportingFlyer T·C 23:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, coverage of youth sports is more trivial in nature than of real sports. Geschichte (talk) 10:18, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
