LEXINGTON, Ky. — Former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen is continuing to battle serious health issues, according to a statement from his family.
"Jared overnight was uneventful, and that is a good thing," the family said in a statement released through Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones. "He remains on dialysis. His cardiac and renal issues remain, however his treatment has been effective. Jared is still very sick ... but developing some traction and remains a fighter. The entire family thanks you for your support and prayers."
Topping 300 pounds during his playing career at Kentucky, Lorenzen became nationally known for his prodigious size and arm strength.
