Duquesne’s all-time great, still the gold standard at RB
A.J. Hines is a bruising, productive workhorse who finished his Duquesne career as the program’s all-time leader in rushing yards (4,629), rushing touchdowns (44) and total touchdowns (47), and he won the 2016 Jerry Rice Award as the FCS freshman of the year.[2][7][9] In the 2018 season, he was third in the FCS in rushing yards and sixth in rushing touchdowns, which is the kind of production that screams bell-cow back rather than committee piece.[13] If you want a back with proven volume, big-game pop, and a history of carrying an offense, Hines is exactly that—just note his peak impact came years ago, so this is a legacy/data profile more than a current-form snapshot.[2][3][13]
