University of Toledo freshman defensive end Jamal Hines has been a mainstay on the line this season and is producing at a rate beyond his years.
It is rare for a true freshman to contribute in the way Hines has this season.
“He’s been outstanding,” UT coach Jason Candle said. “We didn’t have him two weeks ago because of an injury, and he was a little bit hobbled last week against Northern, but he’s been great. He really forced our hand to play him early in the season. He’s started most of the games this season as a true freshman, which is a difficult task.
