UW This Season: Alex Renshaw established himself as a solid contributor at running back for the Wyoming Cowboys a year ago. His 2004 season ended prematurely when he fractured his left leg and ankle in the Utah game on Nov. 13. After surgery in mid-November, Renshaw came back to participate in `05 spring drills, and concluded the spring No. 4 on the Wyoming depth chart at running back. 2004: Renshaw began the 2004 season at free safety, but was moved back to his natural position of running back early in fall drills. He carried the ball 13 times for 65 yards and one touchdown in his redshirt sophomore season. Renshaw averaged 5.0 yards per carry, and displayed a very physical running style. He played in each of the first 10 games for the Cowboys as both a running back and valuable special teams performer before breaking his left leg and ankle versus Utah. 2003: Renshaw redshirted the 2003 season after transferring from the Air Force Academy in the fall of 2003. He joined the football team and went through spring drills in `04. 2002: He attended the Air Force Academy for the 2002-03 academic year but didn't play football. 2001: Renshaw attended Air Force Prep for one year before being awarded an appointment to the Academy. High School: A three-sport standout at Diller-O'Dell High School in O'Dell, Neb., Renshaw was selected All-State in both football and basketball his junior and senior seasons. He was an All-State honoree in track and field his senior year. A four-year letterman in all three sports, Renshaw also achieved honor roll status all four years of high school. His high school football coach was Mike Meyerle. Renshaw was also recruited by Air Force, Colorado State and Nebraska.
