He was a two-year starter at a big-time football program, ranks among the Top 10 scoring leaders in Maryland Terrapins football history (dating back to the 1890s), was twice selected as an Academic All-ACC player, and there's enough non-trivial coverage of his collegiate football career at Maryland to meet the  standard.  There have been multiple stories specifically about him (i.e., not statistic reports or passing references in game coverage) in ''The Washington Post'', ''The Baltimore Sun'', ''The Washington Times'', and ''The Washington Examiner''.
