Texas A&M Football Legend Terrence Murphy Joins Third Coast Renegades Ownership Group

(Dallas, TX, July 5, 2025) — Sport Fishing Championship today announced that Terrence C. Murphy Sr., former NFL wide receiver and real estate entrepreneur, has joined the ownership group of Third Coast Renegades Angling Club. Murphy, a native of East Texas, is one of the most decorated wide receivers in Texas A&M University history. Murphy was a two-time All American, two-time First Team All-Big 12 selection, three-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree. He was selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Murphy still holds the Aggies’ record for all-purpose yards. 

Third Coast Renegades Angling Club’s represents the Greater Houston exclusive rights territory, which stretches from Port Arthur at the Louisiana State line to the Houston/Galveston area. The “Third Coast” name has been used to describe the Gulf Coast of the United States, and also refers to Houston’s history as a major film set location for movies over the years, behind Los Angeles and New York. Houston is a top-10 DMA, representing nearly 2.5 million households. The club competes in SFC’s Gulf Division and currently lead the season’s points race. 

"Fishing is about precision, patience, and purpose: the same values that drive successful teams and businesses," Murphy said. "Through Third Coast Renegades AC, we're building something bigger than sport; we're creating legacy, community, and opportunity.” 

After his playing career, Murphy built one of Texas's most respected real estate companies. Murphy has brokered more than 10,000 real estate transactions and assembled a real estate portfolio exceeding 1,000 units in multiple states. Murphy has founded, acquired or invested in more than 110 companies and he has facilitated more than $5 Billion in acquisitions and sales for his career. 

“The addition of Terrence Murphy to the Third Coast Renegades ownership group is a huge win for both the club and the league,” said SFC Commissioner and CEO Mark Neifeld. “His connection and history to the club’s home market and vision to grow its fan base aligns perfectly with our goals.”

Murphy joins a bevy of successful entrepreneurs, investors and athletes that have joined SFC as angling club owners, including world no. 1 PGA golfer Scottie Scheffler, GRAMMY-nominated country music star Brian Kelley, Pro Bowl NFL running back Raheem Mostert, two-time NASCAR Daytona 500 Champion Austin Dillon, LIV Golf Singles Champion Talor Gooch and NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss. 

“SFC is pioneering something new, and I'm proud to be part of it. And what also attracted me to SFC was the innovative team structure—they’ve built something truly unique by creating the camaraderie with teams and fans."
