Hunter Renfrow is an American professional football wide receiver born on December 21, 1995, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He attended Socastee High School, where he played quarterback and was considered a two-star recruit. Despite receiving offers to play football and baseball at the FCS level, Renfrow chose to walk on at Clemson University. After redshirting his first year, he became a key contributor to the Clemson Tigers football team, notably catching a game-winning touchdown with one second left in the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship against Alabama. His collegiate career culminated in winning the Burlsworth Trophy, awarded to the best college football player who began as a walk-on[2][8]. Renfrow was selected in the fifth round (149th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, who later became the Las Vegas Raiders. He quickly established himself as a reliable slot receiver known for his agility and precise route running. In the 2021 NFL season, Renfrow emerged as the Raiders' primary receiving weapon, recording 103 receptions—ranking fourth most in the league—and earning his first Pro Bowl selection[2][4]. Over his NFL career, he has been recognized for his efficient catching ability and consistent production despite initial modest expectations[1][2]. As of 2025, Hunter Renfrow plays for the Carolina Panthers, having signed with the team after his tenure with the Raiders. His transition to the Panthers marks the latest chapter in his professional career, where he continues to contribute as a wide receiver. Recent reports highlight his ongoing efforts to regain form and impact after dealing with health challenges that affected his playing time[3][5][6]. Renfrow stands 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, and is widely respected for his work ethic and competitive spirit both in college and the NFL[2][7].
