Maryland walk-on player was Army specialist in Afghanistan

"I wish we could drop more bombs," Miles said in the article. "We really don't like these people. They've really gotten to us."

Miles is likely to be a scout team player who won't play in games.

Maryland typically does not make players available to the media until they participate in a game, but the media will certainly make requests to interview Miles, who is from Hammonton, N.J.

Miles, who wears No. 85, was found in the sort of walk-on tryout that the team periodically holds.

"He's kind of a skill guy -- running back, wide receiver, defensive back," Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. "He's been good -- he's helped us. He's a good kid. I talked to him on the field a little bit."
