Michael Ray Renfro (born June 19, 1955) is a former American professional football player in the National Football League for the Houston Oilers and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Texas Christian University.
Renfro attended Arlington Heights High School, where he was a multi-sport athlete. He accepted a football scholarship from Texas Christian University and was named a starter as a freshman. His best season came as a senior, posting 50 receptions for 794 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He graduated from college as the All-time leading pass receiver in school and Southwest Conference history, with 2,739 receiving yards. He also left as the school's career leader in receiving touchdowns (17) and career receptions (162). He played for the Horned Frogs during a low point in the TCU football history, which cost him the opportunity to earn more accolades for his play, after never experiencing a winning season and winning only 4 games in 4 seasons.
In 1988, he was inducted into the Texas Christian University Athletics Hall of Fame. In 2016, he was inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame.
Renfro was selected by the Houston Oilers in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 1978 NFL Draft. He became a starter as rookie, registering 26 receptions for 339 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Although he proved his worth as the team's possession receiver in the Oilers run-oriented offenses of the Earl Campbell era, he never had the opportunities to achieve high receiving numbers, even when catching balls from quarterback greats Dan Pastorini, Kenny Stabler and Archie Manning.
