The Burlsworth Trophy selection committee announced today that Clemson wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has been named one of 10 semifinalists for the 2018 Burlsworth Trophy. The honor is awarded annually to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on.
A former triple-option quarterback at Socastee High School in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Renfrow started his Clemson career as a walk-on after turning down scholarship offers from several FCS programs. He has since become one of the most prolific receivers in Clemson history.
Renfrow enters this week’s game against Boston College having recorded 1,894 receiving yards with 15 receiving touchdowns on 164 career receptions, the eighth-most career receptions in school history.
