The last time Hunter Renfrow went to Washington, D.C., he was in the fifth grade and it was an 11-hour bus ride from Myrtle Beach, S.C. to the nation’s capital.
However his second trip, which happened earlier this month, took just five seconds, sort of speak. That’s the time it took for quarterback Deshaun Watson to find Renfrow in the right side of the end zone for the game-winning touchdown, lifting Clemson to its first national championship in 35 years and securing his team’s visit to the White House, where they met President Donald Trump.
As he sat on the steps and listen to President Trump speak so highly of Clemson and then have him call out his name, Renfrow described the experience as one of the best of his life.
