Jacob Hines brings veteran size and power to Texas Tech’s interior line
Jacob Hines is a 6-5, 320-pound interior offensive lineman who carved out a veteran role at Texas Tech, including four starts at left guard in 2018 before a knee injury shortened his season. His value is classic trench gold: mass, leverage, and pass-protection steadiness on a line that helped the Red Raiders allow just 2.08 sacks per game and protect a Big 12-high 535 pass attempts in 2018. He fits teams that want a physical, assignment-sound guard with real college experience and no-frills toughness.
