Mikel Hines brings tough, disruptive depth to ULM’s defensive front
Mikel Hines entered Louisiana-Monroe as a junior college edge/defensive line transfer with real production, posting 32 tackles, 2 sacks, 6.5 tackles for loss and a fumble recovery in 2024 at East Mississippi CC after 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2023. ULM’s staff called him “tough” and a strong culture fit, and that tracks: he’s a motor player who plays with effort, sheds blocks, and can create backfield chaos rather than just eat space. If your team needs a physical, high-energy DL who can flash as a pass rusher and fit a blue-collar identity, he’s worth a look.
