Keep. While he doesn't pass
WP:NCOLLATH, precedent is well-established that a college football player may have a stand-alone article if coverage passes
WP:GNG. Frey was the starting quarterback at Ohio State from 1988 to 1990 and was the subject of widespread coverage in the mainstream media, more than sufficient to pass GNG. Examples include:
this from Northwest Columbus News,
this from ESPN.com. He also passes
WP:NGRIDIRON as he played professional football in the original Arena Football League for the 1993 Cleveland Thunderbolts team.

Keep - This is an easy keep !vote per the general notability guidelines of
WP:GNG (see Cbl62's comments above for a small sample of the coverage of the subject's college career). To anyone familiar with American college football, this result was entirely predictable, even without doing any AfD-related homework. The subject was the three-year starting quarterback for the
Ohio State Buckeyes football team of Ohio State University, which has been a perennial top-10 program for the last 70 years. Starting quarterbacks in high-profile programs like Ohio State's get a lot of ink even if they suck, and this guy was a pretty damn fine college QB. Next.

Keep I agree with all of the above arguments. One problem with Google searches is that they just don't go back very far. I did a search on
HighBeam and hundreds of articles about him or mention him come up.
