HIGH SCHOOL: A high school teammate of fellow commit Tyler Bowens at Wade Hampton, the duo helped the generals to a region title in 2020.  They also appeared in the state title game that year. Brenegan was a two-time all-conference player and two-time all-county player.  He earned all-state honors as a junior and senior. He scored more than 1,000 points in his high school career. 

PERSONAL: The son of Amy and John Brenegan, he plans to study biology at Carson-Newman.  Younger brother of Carson-Newman guard Luke Brenegan. His father played basketball at the University of South Dakota.  Brenegan finished his high school career at Wade Hampton with a 4.818 GPA.
