Jared Lorenzen: My All-Time Favorite Kentucky Football QB

We talk with the former UK great about how life after football is treating him.

Where do I begin?

Jared Lorenzen is easily my favorite QB to ever wear the blue and white. At approximately 6'4, Lorenzen was always near the 300lb mark. This left him as (unofficially) the largest quarterback in American football. However, he was very mobile. In fact, he rushed for 904 yards as a high school senior. His remarkable HS career, playing for Highlands in Fort Thomas, led to a scholarship offer from (then) UK coach Hal Mumme.

His story was just getting started, though.
