CLEMSON, SC – Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow spent the last two weeks in the QB meeting room and took the representatives behind the center, a necessary scenario due to Kelly Bryant's abrupt departure last week. And while Renfrow said he was always eager to meet a need, he was frustrated by the new redshirt rule that allows players to leave a program mid-season.
"I do not like having to worry about that," Renfrow said. "Now, the 4th week of every year will be the trading deadline, and everyone will make decisions, I do not like that, if you go to a school, when you join a team, Is your team, right? "

Renfrow said that he was not mad at Bryant, who decided to transfer after being chosen in favor of freshman freshman Trevor Lawrence last week, but that it was a decision that he would not have taken.
"It's best for him," Renfrow said. "It's a bit like you had a brother and that he was making a bad decision, you loved him." It was not necessarily a bad decision, but a decision that you did not make. but I'm not him, and I'm not here every day in his skin. "
This echoed similar comments from several other Clemson players and coaches this week. Senior defensive lineman, Christian Wilkins, said he supported Bryant despite the decision, and defense coordinator Brent Venables hinted that he was disappointed to see players leave the middle of the year.
"It's sad to see," Venables said. "I hate that, just the whole thing.I'm just a loyal guy.I think it's just fighting and sticking in. It's just me. It's easy to say, I'm not sitting here to judge. "
Renfrow said Bryant's decision was a surprise to most of the team, who had assumed the role of the senior, who had started the first four games of the season after leading Clemson to the elimination round of the season. 'last year.
Nevertheless, Renfrow said the majority of veteran players did not make the decision personally.
"He made a decision and you have to stand next to him," Renfrow said. "He always made the right decision – it had been a kind of tool bag and that he was often alone, it's one thing." But he was always for the moment. team and has always made the right decision, so just stay behind and support him. "
The gestures, however, came as a result of a match that Clemson could easily have lost in the absence of Bryant. Lawrence was injured at the end of the second quarter and Brice was forced to assume the offense despite eight attempts of absence in career without support. Clemson lost 10 points in the second half, and only a late conversion to fourth and sixth place allowed the Tigers to keep their hopes in the playoffs.
Renfrow said the tragedy of Bryant's departure and the difficulty of winning on Saturday made last week the toughest of his college career.
"I do not think I've been so exhausted after a game that I was [vs. Syracuse] Renfrow said: "Not just Kelly, even though he played a big role."
