The result was keep. The nominator withdrew their nomination in light of new sources, and I am procedurally closing this as a withdraw (I was a keep vote in the discussion). There were no !votes other than keep.

More sources here, here, and here. Lots of more-than-transactional coverage of him transferring, but it seems he just left football. He also had plenty of sources detailing his recruiting. Etzedek24

  • Kind of a reasonably common name, so web searches don't "stand out" as easily. I would encourage an enthusiastic editor to draftify and work on the content/sources to be more clear and then re-introduce the article. As it is written, the sources are lacking.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All involved, I would be happy to expand the article as it is with some of the sources I and others have posted in this thread with no need to draftify. Per
WP:NEXISTif we know the sources exist, then there is no need to waste the energy moving it to a draft.Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 20:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Etzedek24, I would support that too. If you're good with expanding the article with the sources provided here, I'll withdraw and look forward to seeing the expanded version of it. Spf121188 (talk) 21:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Spf121188: & Etzedek24 I just built out the article a bit if you would like to take a look. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:52, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • GPL93, It looks to be in much better shape (in my opinion,) than before, nicely done! I'll withdraw the nomination. Spf121188 (talk) 13:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He was the Gatorade National Player of the Year and him winning the award was important enough for ESPN to have a reporter write an article about it instead of a quick writeup from the AP or their own news service. When he returned to the team, Fox Sports wire service had a full page write-up. GPL93 (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
