Lorenzen played for Kentucky from 2000 to 2003, earning the nickname “Hefty Lefty” for his size, which was unusual for the quarterback position. Still, he was more than that, and was a great, dynamic player for the Wildcats.
Lorenzen was a popular person in Lexington and is still one of most fans’ favorite players. Rest in peace, Jared.
