2017 season wrapup: Hinton is a two-way player who was named first-team all-state on defense. He recorded 40 tackles, including more than 10 for losses. On offense, he paved the way for a unit that averaged a Class AAA-best 45.6 points per game. Hinton is rated as the No. 2 strong-side defensive end and No. 23 overall player nationally. GAC reached the semifinals and finished 12-2 last year.

School's first Super 11 since: Kyler McMichael in 2017.
