Ironwood Ridge's Cole Marmor (50), right, manages to finally get a grip on Salpointe's D.J. Hinton (3) after his catch and twisting run in the second quarter of their game at Salpointe High School, Friday, Oct. 24, 2014. 

Salpointe's Hinton shines at Rivals.com combine 

At the Rivals.com football training combine last week in Phoenix, Salpointe Catholic sophomore receiver/defensive back D.J. Hinton turned heads. Hinton ran the fastest time over 40 yards (4.62 seconds) and had a 32-inch vertical jump, sixth of all prospects. As a Lancers sophomore last fall, Hinton rushed for 147 yards, caught passes for 277 yards and returned kicks for 251 more yards. He projects as one of Tucson’s top college prospects in 2016.
