"N.C. State is counting on its top two recruits, Hines and Princeton running back Johnny Frasier, to contribute. Frasier will be part of a rotation in the backfield that includes preseason all-ACC pick Shadrach Thornton and Matt Dayes; Hines is expected to be a big-play threat in the slot.

Until they hit the field this week, there are no guarantees. Either could be surpassed by someone like Greensboro running back Reggie Gallaspy, who enrolled early and ran for 131 yards in the spring game. Or the freshman star could be a wide receiver like Vernon Grier or Brian Sessoms, both three-star prospects, both too fast for Doeren to ignore.

“They’re both unbelievably fast, but are they going to be ready? I don’t know yet,” Doeren said. “When I signed them both, my thought was I wouldn’t need to play them. But when I saw how fast they are, maybe I will, because they can run.”
