Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Mensik
College football players pass  if they have received significant, non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media, and Mensik has received such coverage.  Mensik played college football at the highest level for the Oklahoma Sooners from 2007 to 2010.  He was moved from tight end to offensive line (a major change) and excelled at the new position to such a degree that he was selected as a first-team All-Big 12 player in 2010 -- a remarkable athletic achievement.  http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DM&p_theme=dm&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=12C0758BCCD13C18&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM This article from ''The Dallas Morning News'' (11th List of newspapers in the United States by circulation|largest newspaper in USA by circulation) is a good example of the type of feature coverage in a major metropolitan newspaper that helps support a finding of notability.  Also, ''The Oklahoman'' (which is the largest circulation newspaper in Oklahoma and 51st largest in the USA) has published multiple stories about Mensik.
