(“Newcomer” criteria: Player must be an underclassmen, with limited, or no, varsity experience.)
We could have, almost did, go with one of the quarterbacks on this list. The numbers are flashier, but in the end we settled on Renfro. From his free safety position in the Trailblazers’ secondary he led the division with eight interceptions. He was also in on 59 tackles and defended six passes. On offense he averaged nearly 20-yards on 26 receptions. Impact player deluxe, he’s back for two more years.
