WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Quarterback Kam Smith, the career passing leader at Winston-Salem State, has signed to play for the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes of the German Football League.
Smith was a three-year starter for the Rams and last season led them to a school-best 14-1 finish, but he admitted that he didn’t know if he would ever play again.
"I really miss it,” Smith said by telephone on Friday night, “but now I get to put the pads on again.”
Smith left Sunday for Germany and will play Saturday in the Hurricanes’ final regular-season game.

Smith joined the Rams in the spring of 2010, after playing a season at the U.S. Naval Academy where he spent two seasons with the Midshipmen.
As John Dell, beat writer for the Winston-Salem Journal stated in December 2012, "all Smith did was go 31-4 as a starter and throw for 7,540 yards with an incredible 96 touchdown passes." No doubt, Kam Smith raised the bar very high for future Ram quarterbacks in both the classroom (Economics major) and playing field.
