2016 Jun 6

Adin Hines, a rising senior with major(s) in financial accounting from Harrisburg, Pa., earned recognition as Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars by the periodical Diverse Issues in Higher Education for their role as a football player.

Hines has earned two letters with the football team, earning MAC Academic Honor Roll honors as an accounting major as a junior. A defensive lineman, Hines has appeared in 10 career games and made eight tackles.

Diverse Issues established the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Program, named for the late tennis star, in 1992 to honor outstanding undergraduate students of color. Each sports scholar must be a non-freshman who competes in an intercollegiate sport, maintains a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.20, and is active on his campus or in the community.
