• Was ACC Receiver of the Week after catching eight passes for 139 yards and three touchdowns against NC State in 2017.
• Had four career 100-yard receiving games at Wake Forest, including two against NC State.
• Was able to use a redshirt at Oregon and will have one season of eligibility left. Had arrived at Oregon as a grad transfer before the 2018 campaign.
• Originally from Florence, S.C., where he played at Marlboro County High.
Recruitment:
• Left Oregon after falling behind on the depth chart while recovering from an offseason knee procedure.
• Received attention from Oklahoma, Rutgers and Western Illinois in addition to NC State.
• Visited NC State the weekend of Jan. 25 and committed at the end of the trip.
Quotable:
“I believe now I know what it feels like to lose it all and have the game taken away from you, so I will value every rep, every practice, every film session and all of that will translate. I would like to have a role that will be remembered as one of the top single seasons in the Pack’s history ... but winning is living.” — Hines.
Scouting report:
• Speedy and quick receiver who thrives in the slot.
• Probably lacks the size to be an outside receiver in NC State’s offense.
• If healthy should be a weapon in the Pack’s offense.
2019 projection:
Hines arrives in Raleigh expected to play a major role in the passing attack. NC State returns just Thayer Thomas, a redshirt sophomore, at slot receiver, so Hines has an opportunity to immediately impact the offense.
