(STATS) -- Perhaps by the time the FCS top freshman is done with his college career, there will be a second Hines Field in Pittsburgh. Qadry Ismail Jersey .Duquesne running back A.J. Hines has been named the STATS FCS Jerry Rice Award winner, edging South Dakota State linebacker Christian Rozeboom by a single vote for the nations best freshman.A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries voted on the Rice Award, which had 23 finalists from 12 FCS conferences.Playing a few miles away across the Allegheny River from Heinz Field, the home of the Steelers, Hines was a big reason the Dukes won a share of a second straight Northeast Conference title. He ran for a Duquesne freshman record 1,291 yards and 13 touchdowns, the most in either category by any Dukes running back since senior Mike Hilliard (1,544 yards, 15 TDs) in 2003.Nicknamed Baby Gurley at Wilson, North Carolinas Fike High School, after former Georgia and current Los Angeles Rams tailback Todd Gurley, Hines hadnt even heard of Duquesne until last summer. He was initially a Richmond recruit but had admissions issues, so instead of doing a semester of prep school and hoping to eventually qualify, Hines answered a call from Duquesne.The Dukes are glad he did.Hines got 30 first-place votes from the panel and needed every one of them, finishing with 333 overall points -- one more than Rozeboom. The Jackrabbits linebacker finished second while Sam Houston State receiver Nathan Stewart was third with 295 points despite amassing 25 first-place votes to Rozebooms 22.Hines is the third running back to win in six years of the Jerry Rice Awards existence, joining Towsons Terrance West (2011) and Fordhams Chase Edmonds (2014). Northern Arizona quarterback Case Cookus was the 2015 recipient.The Jerry Rice Award voting reflected the regular season and was conducted before the start of the FCS playoffs.---=1. A.J.

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. Ben Barbas return to Cronulla looks increasingly likely after the NRL premiers confirmed they want the star fullback on their playing roster.But Sharks boss Lyall Gorman says the club needs evidence the 27-year-olds off-field woes are behind him.Barba will reportedly work as a builders labourer over the summer to keep his focus.The doors open for him but hes got to want to come back to football, first of all, Gorman told Sky Sports Radio on Thursday.More importantly, hes got to be settled in his own life.Barba has returned to Sydney after spending a month in a Thai rehabilitation centre.He faces a 12-match suspension should he choose to return to the NRL after being released from his contract in the wake of the positive cocaine test last month.While reports have linked Barba to cashed-up Japanese rugby union clubs, Cronulla players have also backed his return.Barbas agent Gavin Orr said the Dally M winner would endeavour to stay busy while he spends time away from the game.A lot of rugby league players turn to the drink or get on the punt because tthey have so much free time, so this (construction job) will be good for Ben, Orr told News Corp Australia. Mark Clayton Jersey. o Bens credit, he wants to stay active and this will be an important part of his recovery.Barba returned the second positive drug test of his career days after the Sharks breakthrough grand final win in October.Gorman reiterated it was a mutual decision for Barba to be released from his playing contract.He needed to be well away from the distractions of professional sport and the demands of professional sport and, for the first time in a long time, focus on himself and his future and his wife, he said.Hes the first to acknowledge, and he put his hand up and said Ive got some issues I need to address. Ive put them on the backburner for too long.If we can look back in 40 years and say, look at Benny and the life hes led, not just around football, well be a better club for that and hell be a better person.
