First and foremost Hunter Renfrow is a football player. Quarterback of the high school team, son of the coach, he came to Clemson to play football.
For a long time Renfrow thought he’d be a baseball player, a center fielder, preferably as a pro. Renfrow wasn’t one of those travel team guys. He played for the local American Legion post so he didn’t have the exposure and didn’t face the level of competition that frequently lead to scholarships with the bigger programs. Liberty University made a substantial offer when he was a junior and Duke showed some interest but football was his first love.
