A two-sport standout for Colorado State, Hines excelled for the football and wrestling teams in his time as a Ram. He became the only African American wrestler to earn All-American honors when he placed fifth at 191 at the 1963 NCAA Championships. It was also in 1963 when he led the football team in rushing, scoring and total offense. In one game, Hines rushed for 103 yards, just the third player for the Rams since 1950 to hit the plateau. After graduation, Hines worked in the CSU veterinary department as a safety coordinator. Hines passed away in the spring of 2024.
