D’Juan Hines

Age: 17

Grade: Senior

Position: Quarterback

Size: 6’1”, 190

College: Hines has been recruited by the Houston, Colorado, Rice, Texas State and North Texas.

Hines said he started playing football in the third grade. He recalled the feeling of scoring touchdowns and hearing the cheers, but said playing sports was also his way of making friends growing up.

Playing football at Dekaney since his freshman year, Hines moved up to varsity as a sophomore. He won the starting quarterback spot as a junior and started every game en route to the school’s first state title in 2011.

The quarterback hopes to improve his passing, accuracy, timing and management of the game this season. A duel threat, Amendola said

Hines rushed for over 500 yards and threw for over 1,000 last year and Amendola believes he will have to take a more prominent role in this offense.

The coach thinks Hines has the tools to be a college quarterback some day, and colleges seem to agree, as he has been recruited by Houston, Rice, Texas State, North Texas and Colorado.

“I’m really anxious, but I’m also really anxious about this upcoming season, so I try not to think about (college) too much,” Hines said.

D'Juan Hines has been shown as committed to Houston since 6/2/12.

This article was dated Aug 30th --- you would think if the kid was a solid commit he would have indicated as much.

Reminds of another QB?

A QB that is no longer on the roster of the school (UTEP) for which he spurned UNT.

Stay solid, D'Juan.
