All-purpose back earns honor as kick returner
Wolfpack true freshman standout Nyheim Hines has been named a True Freshman All-American by 247Sports.com. The honorable mention All-ACC performer, who ranks first among all FBS freshmen in kick return yards, earned the nod as a kick returner.
Hines has tallied 1,220 all-purpose yards for the season and his 791 yards in kickoff returns is the fourth-best mark in school history, second best for a Wolfpack freshman. He has posted the best kickoff return average ever for a Wolfpack freshman with a 27.3 mark, tied for seventh overall.
The Garner native is the only player on the team who has scored a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown and on a return in 2015.
