Bobby Renn transferred to Florida State from Davidson and in his FSU career, 1956-58, became one of the most complete football players ever to wear the garnet and gold. When his career was over, Renn
held FSU career marks in points scored, touchdowns scored, rushing yardage and punting. He not only ran and punted, Bobby was a brilliant defensive back, a fine pass receiver, and filled in at
quarterback in 1957. He gained 150 yards rushing in one game, raced 72 yards for TD against VPI and gained 1,468 yards rushing in his career. He remains one of the most powerful and accurate punters
in FSU annals. However, Bobby Renn is perhaps best remembered for a single play. He returned the opening kickoff in the FSU-Florida series 75 yards to the Gator 15, setting up a quick Seminole TD. He
was co-captain of that fine 1958 squad. Bobby Renn's great versatility as a Seminole football player well merits his selection to the athletic hall of fame.
