Sometimes a guy just absolutely outperforms what he’s expected to do.

That would be an understatement for Hunter Renfrow.

Renfrow wasn’t even rated coming out of high school and walked on to Clemson football just looking to continue playing the sport.

Although Renfrow never put up eye-popping stats, he was always Mr. Consistency. The biggest moment of Clemson football career came in January of 2017 when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass of the National Championship game against Alabama in the final few seconds of what was a historical matchup.
