per Megan:
Fleck called Renner the “unsung hero of the defense” after the game, someone who can anchor the line at nose guard, tackle or end and doesn’t let his slightly undersized 275-pound frame inhibit him.
“If there’s one guy I want with me if I’m walking to a place that maybe I shouldn’t be walking at times, I want Sam Renner right next to me,” Fleck said. “… He’s the guy you want with you when there’s crisis, when there’s chaos.”
Renner redshirted his first season coming off back-to-back knee injuries and did not play at all the next year. He made it to special teams as a sophomore, earned a scholarship and defensive playing time as a junior. And now as a senior, he’s not only a starter but an impact player.
