According to the Los Angeles Wave newspaper, the Los Angeles Avengers have signed a new quarterback to their roster.

Occidental College quarterback Andy Collins has signed a three-year contract with the L.A. Avengers of the Arena Football League.

Collins was a three-time Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference offensive player of the year and an NCAA Division III All-American in 2006. He averaged 273.1 yards in total offense per game as a senior.

He participated in the New York Giants mini-camp in May as an unsigned free agent.

It isn't clear yet how much playing time Collins might receive behind Sonny Cumbie (who isn't signed yet for the 2008 season as far as I know) and Tim Hicks.
