LSU freshman offensive guard Chasen Hines posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed after surgery Friday (Jan. 4). LSU football sources say the surgery was on a knee issue he was able to play through during the season.

Hines was thrown into major playing time during his true freshman season just two months after switching from defensive line to offensive line at the start of fall camp.

When starting guard Garrett Brumfield went down against Auburn on Sept. 15, Hines rotated in and impressed coaches.
