Non-notable college player, fails WP:NGRIDIRON as he didn't play in a pro football league. PROD was removed by Cbl62 due to the article claiming he was named an All-American, which would mean he passes WP:NCOLLATH. However, his name doesn't appear on two of the teams the article claims he was named to, and on the third he was simply an honorable mention: Sports Illustrated (honorable mention), CBS (not listed), ~~College Football News (not listed, and this selector gave seven honorable mentions)~~.

Looks like the link to the CFN team was for 2007's team. I can't find the 2005 team. But even if he was named to that team, it isn't one of the "official" teams so it's given little credence. And this is a punter, one of the least glamorous positions in football. Bottom line is he isn't notable. Lizard (talk) 03:02, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the 2005 team, where he is an honorable mention. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:54, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources provided by WikiOriginal9 and those in the article. These sources comprise significant coverage in multiple reliable sources so as to pass WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 06:02, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep my first reaction was delete as well, but after digging in to the sources I think there's enough here to pass WP:GNG. Sure we don't normally keep articles about college punters, but this one seems to have at least some unique press coverage.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:57, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete coverage is routine and does not rise to the notability levels required.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:00, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
