Proudly representing his hometown during his N.C. State football career, Nyheim Hines will be one of the faces of a major Garner event on Saturday.
Hines and his twin sister and fellow Wolfpack athlete, Nyah, will be the grand marshals when the Garner Christmas Parade winds through downtown Garner from 2-5 p.m.
Both Nyheim and Nyah graduated from Garner Magnet High School in 2015 before enrolling at N.C. State.
Nyheim Hines plays football and runs track for the Wolfpack. Named first-team all-ACC in football earlier this week, Hines has rushed for 1,041 yards this season as a junior despite missing nearly three games due to injuries.
