As 21-year-old and a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky, I admittedly don’t have memories of Art Still wreaking havoc in the backfield, Dermontti Dawson mauling defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage, or Sonny Collins shattering rushing records. And while I’ve studied and analyzed plenty of film on guys like Tim Couch and Craig Yeast, even that was just before my time in terms of watching Kentucky games at Commonwealth Stadium and truly grasping the game of football.
And then came No. 22.
From the first moment I saw Jared Lorenzen play, I was hooked.
