FIU Athletics

Bryn Renner enters his fifth season at FIU in 2021. This season will be his first as FIU's quarterbacks coach, after moving over from the cornerbacks position the last two seasons. In addition to being the Panther QB coach, Renner also serves as the recruiting coordinator. Since coming to Miami in 2017, Renner has landed some of FIU's most highly touted prospects, with 2018's class ranking first in Conference USA. 

In 2019, Renner's corners contributed to FIU ranking 17th overall in the country for passing yards allowed per game (195.0). FIU also defended well in the pass efficiency category (117.64), ranking 23rd in the country. The ball hawking Panthers picked off 12 passes in 2019, which placed FIU 31st overall in the country and aided in cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III being selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. 

Renner is known as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in North Carolina history, after rewriting the UNC record books from 2011-13 while playing in Chapel Hill. Upon leaving, the three-year starter at QB owned the school record for most 300-yard passing games in a career and set the record for most passing touchdowns in program history twice. Renner’s deadly accurate 66.5 completion percentage while at UNC also ranks first all-time at the program.
 
The West Springfield, Virginia native ranks second all-time amongst Tar Heel QBs in career passing touchdowns (64) while ranking third in career passing yards (8,221) and career completions (668).
 
Following a recording-breaking collegiate career at UNC, Renner spent time in the NFL as he played for the Steelers, Chargers, Titans, Ravens and Broncos. After his NFL career, Renner broke into the coaching ranks as Austin Peay’s quarterbacks coach in 2016, before heading back to his alma mater, UNC, for the same position a year later.
 
The former 4-star recruit, who was signed by Butch Davis at UNC, was named to the 2013 Davey O’Brien Award Watch List and Maxwell Award Watch List after being named 2012 All-ACC Honorable Mention. In addition to football, Renner also played baseball for the Tar Heels at first base and DH.
 
Renner, a native of West Springfield, Virginia, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. Renner's father, Bill, was a punter at Virginia Tech and played professionally for the Green Bay Packers.
