Hmmm, the article as it is currently written doesn't establish notability.  He was a one-year starter that did not make it in the NFL.  His 2009 season was so notable is didn't even warrant a paragraph. NCAA athletes are going to get mentions in newspapers, but I don't think any of the refs lists are anything out of the ordinary. — X96lee15 (talk) 22:20, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Why do you assume his season as starter "didn't warrant a paragraph"? No one has written it yet. If you feel strongly about it, you can always send it to AFD. But other similar articles have been kept with about a quarter of the above coverage. A starting BCS quarterback is going to meet notability standards probably about 99% of the time. (And the media coverage was posted above before the 2009 season when he became the full-time starter.) Strikehold (talk) 23:27, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I believe this article meets the Good Article Criteria after my copyedit and will  pass this Good Article Nomination.  I do have one suggestion below that would improve the article further:

You mention that Rivals rated him as a three-star quarterback.  How did Scout rate him?  There's a template {{College Athlete Recruit Start}} that I've seen on several college football player articles that summarizes the star rating—you might want to consider using it.
Thank you and congratulations! –Grondemar 02:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
