Mike Renfro

Michael Ray Renfro (born June 19, 1955) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Houston Oilers and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs.

Renfro attended Arlington Heights High School, where he was a multi-sport athlete. He was a wide receiver in football.

Renfro accepted a football scholarship from Texas Christian University. He was named a starter as a freshman and was second on the team with 21 receptions for 362 yards (17.2-yard avg.) and two touchdowns.

As a sophomore, Renfro's production jumped to 49 receptions for 810 yards (16.5-yard avg.) and two touchdowns. As a junior, he led the team with 42 receptions for 773 yards (18.4-yard avg.) and three touchdowns.

Renfro's best season came as a senior, posting 50 receptions for 794 yards, including a school and a Southwest Conference single-season record with 10 receiving touchdowns.

Renfro graduated from college as the all-time leading pass receiver in school and Southwest Conference history with 2,739 receiving yards. He also left as the school's career leader in receptions (162) and receiving touchdowns (17). Renfro played for the Horned Frogs during a low point in TCU football history, which cost him the opportunity to earn more accolades for his play, never experiencing a winning season and winning only four games in four seasons.

Renfro was inducted into the Texas Christian University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1988, and into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame in 2016.

Renfro was selected by the Houston Oilers in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 1978 NFL draft. As a rookie, he started 10 out of 14 games, registering 26 receptions (third on the team) for 339 yards (third on the team) and two touchdowns.
