Renfree with Duke in 2012
As a freshman in 2009, Renfree played in five games as a backup and completed 34 of 50 passes for 334 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. While playing in the fourth quarter against Georgia Tech Renfree suffered from a torn ACL and was forced to miss the remainder of the 2009 season.[3] In 2010, Renfree started 11 of 12 games, and was the recipient of the Carmen Falcone Award as Duke's Most Valuable Player. On the season, he completed 285 of 464 pass attempts for 3,131 yards with 14 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. In 2011, serving as a team captain, Renfree started all 12 games and completed 282 of 434 pass attempts for 2,891 yards with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
