"Renard has gifts that I've never seen at this level," said Baldwin. "We expect him to have the best year of his career as a senior."
Selected as a second team selection on the Phil Steele College Football Preview Magazine and was selected as a preseason first team All-Big Sky selection by Phil Steele.

He also had a sack against California (9/12/09) to earn team defensive player of the week honors. He had a season-high six tackles in the loss in the FCS Playoffs to SFA.

He is. I knew he was gonna be a hell of a player for EWU his freshman year in 2008 after his performances in the Texas Tech and CU games. We were so undersized on both lines for both games, but Renard was the consistent playmaker and forcing manageable 3rd down situations for our D, especially against CU. It's been fun watching him progress.SeattleGriz wrote:The Knife is the shatScreamin_Eagle174 wrote:
