Renaud started his high school career at Palmetto High School in Florida, helping the team reach the Class 6A state semifinals as a sophomore. He then moved to Lewisville High School, but ended up at Tyler Legacy just before his junior year.

Renaud’s father, Joel Renaud, is on the coaching staff at Tyler Legacy.

As a junior, Renaud had 66 tackles, eight tackles for loss, two sacks, three pass breakups, one forced fumble and one interception. The Red Raiders went 6-6 and advanced to the area round of the Class 6A playoffs.

Through four games this season, Renaud has 30 tackles, six tackles for loss, four sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The 6-4, 245-pound senior has also made an impact on offense. In the season opener against Lufkin, he caught an eight-yard touchdown pass. On Friday against Texas High, Renaud had a 21-yard carry on a fake punt on fourth down. On special teams, Renaud picked up a punt blocked by teammate Diego Castillo and returned it 13 yards into the red zone.

Renaud and other senior football players can officially sign on Dec. 21.
