Speedster Nyheim Hines has spent his first two seasons at NC State as a wide receiver (63 receptions/781 yards/1 TD), but in 2017 he will be returning to his roots. Coming out of Garner High School, Hines was a 4-star running back, ranked 16th nationally at the position by ESPN. As a Trojan, he compiled 6,242 rushing yards and 126 touchdowns.
When Hines arrived at NC State, his rushing skillsset was put on hold, because the the Wolfpack backfield was clogged with Shadrach Thornton and Matt Dayes. Hines’ time would come, but he was a player they couldn’t keep off of the field.
