Nate Renfro, a 6-7, 175 lb. forward from Tucson, Ariz., has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at the University of San Francisco next season.
Renfro, who attends Sahuaro High School in Tucson, averaged 16.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and shot 45 percent from the field as a senior for the Cougars under head coach Jim Henry. Over his three-year varsity career, which spanned 73 games, Renfro averaged 11.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and shot 48 percent from the floor. He was named to "The Five" Boys Division II All-Stars by AllSportsTucson.com, was a first-team All-Southern Arizona selection by the Arizona Daily Star and earned first team all-section honors by AZSports360.com.
Considered one of the most versatile players in Southern Arizona, Renfro started his high school career as a 5-9 point guard on Sahuaro's freshman team but transitioned to small forward on the varsity level following a tremendous growth spurt. An excellent student, he was ranked No. 1 in his class with a 4.0 grade point average as a junior.
"We are excited to announce the signing of Nate Renfro," said USF head coach Rex Walters. "Nate is a young man who has done a great job in the classroom and on the court. His ability to shoot, pass, post up and slash to the basket will definitely add another dimension to our team. I look forward to watching Nate develop as a student, athlete and young man."
Renfro will be joined by Dont'e Reynolds (F, 6-7; Kinston, NC / Odessa College), Cedric Wright (F, 6-6; Fort Lauderdale, Fla. / Dillard HS), Matthew McCarthy (F, 6-9; Melbourne, Australia / Xavier College / Waverly Falcons), Marquill Smith (G, 6-4; Miami, Fla. / Miami Christian HS) and Ronnie Boyce (G, 6-4; Oklahoma City, OK / Connors State) as newcomers on next year's squad.
