College football is not considered an amateur sport because there is a fully professional level of competition. He is not played in a professional league, so does not meet the guideline. Even as a college football player, there isn't much here but a lot of peacock words that make him sound more notable than he is. Nothing here to show that he is notable even on his own team.

There is coverage, but mere coverage is not sufficient per guidelines. It needs to be significant coverage. It isn't
