Found this article in German and translated. Sounds like he knew the coach and thought winning at the lower level, as well as getting the opportunity to play left tackle would help his pro chances..

Aleksandar Milanovic, former player of the Vienna Vikings, was accepted in late July at the Adam State University. He will his senior year no longer spend on the Sacramento State but are for the Grizzlies on the football field.
The Grizzlies play in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, part of the NCAA Division II. This Conference is the Vikings are well known. So Milanovic will meet the team of the former Viking player Tillman Stevens (Eastern New Mexico University) and Jesse Lewis (Colorado State University-Pueblo). Kyle Kaiser also played in the RMAC.
We have led by Aleksandar Milanovic an interview why he made this decision and how it looks in the upcoming season. The season starts the way on 3 September with an away game at the Texas A & M University-Commerce.
Alexs what was the reason for your change to the Adam State University Grizzlies?
Aleksandar Milanovic: The main reason was that I have to play for a team that will make it to the NCAA Play Offs and I knew the head coach here. Coach Rosenbach is a former NFL QB, Heisman candidate Runner Up. He also knows a lot of scouts and has good contacts with coaches in pro football. For example, a good friend of his scout for the Houston Texans (NFL). Thanks to him, the two scouts who I already know from the Junior Pro Day at Sac State, during my fall camp go to the new school.
What can you tell us about your new college?
Aleksandar Milanovic: Our campus is located at about 2300m above sea level. This is a high-altitude training is equal. This I am currently in my conditional peak condition. The fellowship here is also worth a lot more compared to Sac State. I live here in a small community, the cost of living is much cheaper than in California and the nature is stunning. In short, I feel very comfortable.
We have now heard that you hope to make Scouts to your attention. What is your view of the season?
Aleksandar Milanovic: For many my decision will not make any sense because it was a change from a Div I to Div II College. But I think I have a better chance for my future here. Our team has carried out many transfers this year and therefore we have a team with whom we can beat any team in our Conference and Division. Also, I finally had the chance to play at Left Tackle spot. This is vitally important in order to show the scouts that I play equally well on both sides as a tackle. So a Swinging Tackle am.
