Father Ryan’s Renner signs with UAB in soccer

Thursday, March 8, 2012 | 9:59 am

Alex Renner, a senior goalkeeper at Father Ryan, signed a letter of intent on Monday to play college soccer at Alabama-Birmingham.

Renner, 18, joins a UAB squad that won the regular season Conference-USA championship and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament last season.

He will be one of three freshmen goalkeepers on the UAB roster competing for the starting job next season. UAB graduates both its senior goalkeepers in May.

Renner won the starting goalkeeping job at Father Ryan as a sophomore and helped the team to a Division II-AA finalist finish in 2009, a quarterfinalist spot in 2010 and the state championship in 2011. In the 2011 season, he was part of a defensive corps that finished the season with a school-record eight consecutive shutouts on its way to the Tennessee title.

Renner played his club soccer for the Clarksville SA KAOS Arsenal club for four years and for Brentwood Soccer Club for one year. As the starting goalkeeper, he helped lead his teams to two Tennessee state championships, two Regional Premier League championships and three appearances in U.S. Soccer’s Southern Regionals, where they made the quarterfinals in 2009.

Renner has also played hockey for Father Ryan since his sophomore year. He is currently the No. 4 scorer on a team that has reached the semifinals of the city championships.
