He was named All-American in 1967 and 1968, while going on to become the 1968 NCAA College Division Individual Champion. While on tour, Hinson became one of the top 60 money winners from 1969 until 1974. He is the recipient of the coveted Ben Hogan Award, presented to Hinson in 1970, eight years before his induction in the ETSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
