Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL, has become engaged to his boyfriend and college sweetheart Vito Cammisano during a romantic trip to Europe, according to reports. The couple - who met as students at the University of Missouri, where they were both standout athletes - traveled to Spain for New Years before traveling on to Italy, where the proposal appears to have occurred. TMZ are reporting that a friend of 23-year-old Cammisano announced the pair's engagement on Twitter, congratulating the two on their decision to be married, and that Sam liked the post.
