FORT WORTH, Texas — Wagner College football graduate student
Andre Hines Jr. is set to compete in the 12th Annual College Gridiron Showcase, scheduled for January 9–11 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The three-day, OTA-style event provides NFL Draft prospects the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of NFL scouts through positional drills, scrimmage sessions, and meetings with professional football executives. The College Gridiron Showcase has served as a springboard for numerous athletes in past years, with top performers earning invitations to major postseason all-star games at the request of NFL scouts.
