We are very excited for our good friend and colleague Jared Lorenzen as he goes into the UK Athletics Hall of Fame this weekend. Jared is Kentucky’s all-time leading passer and an even better guy in the real life human world. I can’t think of anyone as universally loved as him around the football program. Standup guy and a MOGUL in the t-shirt business.
Here are some of his many accomplishments on the field, via UK Athletics:
Set six NCAA records, four SEC records and 11 school records for passing and total offense … Four-year starter at quarterback … Career totals feature 862 completions in 1,514 attempts for 10,354 yards and 78 touchdowns … Added 12 rushing touchdowns during his career … Two-year semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award … Named second-team All-SEC by both the Associated Press and the Coaches … SEC Co-Freshman of the Year in 2000 … Team captain as a junior and senior … National Player of the Week against Vanderbilt in 2001 … Played three years in the NFL with the New York Giants and was a member of the Giants’ 2008 Super Bowl champion team.
