College career
Rene originally committed to playing for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in 2016, but changed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after Rutgers underwent a coaching change prior to his arrival.[1][3] He played college football for the Tar Heels from 2016 to 2020, while using a redshirt season in 2019 due to an ACL injury.[3][4][5] He played in 45 games, starting in 26, where he had 103 total tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble.[6]
After finishing his degree, Rene transferred to Rutgers University, as he originally intended, to complete a master's degree.[1][3] While playing for the Scarlet Knights, he dressed in five games and recorded eight tackles.[6]
