This article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for sports and athletics. This is a guy who was not selected in a professional football draft, never appeared in a professional football game, never won a college football award, etc. Dennis C.

Delete, I expected to find sources for him considering what he did, but I was not. Alas, delete. BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. He rushed for 1,795 yards in his college career and scored 18 touchdowns for a Division I FBS program. See here. This level of accomplishment leads me to think that there's likely to be SIGCOV. A quick search of Newspapers.com does turn up some. E.g., this (part 1/part 2) and this. I will try to do a deeper search later but this look like a possible GNG pass. Cbl62 (talk) 20:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... I didn't see those sources when I searched. I'll strike my vote for now. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Finding some more. E.g., this (part 1/part 2), this/this (same AP piece picked up in different newspapers), this, and this, this. Cbl62 (talk) 21:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! I must have really screwed up in searching to miss all those. I'd say its enough for GNG. I've !voted keep. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Brown was a NCAA Division I FBS starting quarterback/running back. His career was exceptional enough to win him an invitation to play in the East–West Shrine Bowl, a college football all-star game. See here. Not surprisingly in light of his accomplishments as a major college player, he received considerable WP:SIGCOV and thus passes WP:GNG. Examples of the SIGCOV are linked above.
