Fails both  and . He is, for all purposes, a first-hand eyewitness that ticked up higher in interest due to his military carrier and college career. The feature stores linked are basically are as best described human interest stories - he's local, giving his recollection of 9/11, and only because he started playing college football. If these two activities (witnessing 9/11, and playing college football) were done by different people, neither would be notable (per BLP1E and NCOLLATH, respectively), and the fact that it happened to be one person doesn't change that. It would be different if he had something of a remarkable college football carrier but opted not to continue forward with that, but that doesn't seem to be the case - he seemed to disappear otherwise.  Note that this is specifically that we have had time since he gave up football to judge sources; if this was about a player just starting or still active in college, I would be more lenient to keeping the article to give time to develop. Here, unless something drastically new happens to him, he's just a witness/helper and a failed college player, and fails notability
