“Upon gaining knowledge of the allegations against a student-athlete earlier this week, we immediately informed the University’s Title IX office of the allegations,” the university’s athletic department said in a statement. “The student-athlete is no longer a member of the football team.”
The school added that it has “notified the relevant offices on our campus” about the accusations made against Renfro.

The photos only showed a woman with multiple bruises on her neck as well as alleged instances of assault and harassment. The initial account where the allegations surfaced was named “Kade Renfro is a rapist!”
He has not been charged with a cirme.
Renfro was a standout high school football player in Stephenville, Texas, and committed to Ole Miss in 2020. He transferred to Arkansas in 2021 and injured his knee. He reinjured his knee last year and did not play.
