Renell Wren 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It’s not often that a kid from the St. Louis area ends up in Tempe and plays collegiately for Arizona State. But that’s where Renell Wren<\/a><\/strong> found himself after high school. Wren enjoyed a standout career at Lutheran North and received rave reviews from recruiting services. Scout.com rated him as the top defensive lineman out of the state of Missouri among 2014 college prospects. His only Pac-12 scholarship offer was from the Sun Devils and that’s where he invariably decided to continue playing football.<\/p>\n

Wren played weakside defensive end in high school but the Arizona State coaching staff envisioned a move inside for him. Perhaps that’s why he found playing time hard to come by early on. He sat out the 2014 season, most likely to familiarize himself with a more interior role, then made just four appearances as a reserve during his redshirt freshman campaign. 2016 started off with a bang for him as he totaled a team-leading two tackle for loss in the season-opener against Northern Arizona. But he still started just one game that year.<\/p>\n

As a junior, Wren’s role slowly but surely grew as he made three starts and saw action in all 13 contests. Perhaps his most noteworthy achievement of the season was tallying the first interception of his career in a win over Oregon State. His final season with the Sun Devils was clearly his best. He finally became a prominent contributor on the defensive front, starting all 13 games. His 43 tackles were a career high and he also added 4.5 stops for loss, one sack, and two pass breakups. At the team’s awards banquet after the season, he won the Tim Landers<\/strong> Iron Man Award.<\/p>\n
