Freshman RB NJ Hines brings compact power and a clean frame to William & Mary
NJ Hines is a 2026 freshman running back at William & Mary listed at 5'11", 205 pounds, and his profile suggests a sturdy, downhill runner with enough size to handle contact and fit a physical offense. He arrives from Chester, Virginia with no widely available stat track yet, so the appeal is more projection than production right now: a young back with college-ready build, developmental upside, and room to carve out a role if he runs with toughness and earns trust in pass protection. For a team, that makes him a buy-for-the-future type, not a finished product.
