Experienced Troy edge defender with proven starting experience
John Hines, Jr. is a 6-4, 256-pound defensive end who played in 10 games and started nine for Troy in the 2020 season, finishing with 14 tackles and 2.0 tackles for loss; ESPN also lists 23 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks in his college stat profile. He brings the value of a seasoned, physically developed edge defender who has already handled a starter’s workload, which matters if you want dependable set-the-edge play and rotational pass-rush help rather than a high-upside but untested prospect.
