Former Maryland All-American wrestler Spencer Myers' successful conversion to football with the Terps last season has paid dividends.
Myers is now officially a professional football player, signing a contract with the LA KISS of the Arena Football League.
He's expected to play defensive line and offensive line for the Los Angeles-based AFL team.
Represented by former Maryland football player Chad Wiestling, Myers is hoping to eventually play in the NFL.
Myers went undrafted after working out for 30 NFL teams at the Terps' campus pro day workout this spring, where he bench-pressed 225 pounds 29 times.
