Hey Kentucky Tribute To Jared Lorenzen 

Lets Start a Petition to Honor Jared and Name the Stadium After Him So We would Play on Kroger field inside Jared Lorenzen Stadium GOD Just got one a Hell of a Quarterback

Who downvoted this?? Jared was my favorite qb as a kid and I'm glad I got to meet him once and shake his hand. A wonderful soul has left us today. RIP

UT fan but I’ll never forget the 2001 game. So happy I got to see 22 play in person. Commonwealth Stadium is a great place to see a game. RIP 22.

Im a tennessee fan but jared was one of my favorite players at any position in sec history RIP jared thanks for the great memories

Alabama fan here. His passing affected the whole conference. I loved watching him play. Those UK teams were fun to watch... Been binging his vids all morning...

Told him my name was spelled the same as his when I was 10 years old. He responded “That’s awesome man.” Gave me a high five running out of the tunnel. Left an everlasting impact on me. Rest easy JLo

I'm from Pittsburgh so when I saw him on ESPN I became an instant fan..Very nice guy!!! That big guy can play he blew my mind!!!

Great tribute Matthew. Hope you're doing okay brother.

Rest easy now 22. We will always remember you.

Bless his Children! May they feel the love from Big Blue Nation...

I met Jared after a gameone time outside gate 10. He had ice wrapped around his calves. They were massive. I was nervous when I went to talk to him being a boy of 15. He was so nice and signed my he. e isthe greatest Kentucky football player ever.

As a Georgia fan watching Jared Between the Hedges was always fun. Amazed at the way he could move. Prayers to the Big Blue Nation.

Gamecock fan here and I always loved this guy ! RIP #22

God bless you Jared, The Big Blue Nation and the entire state of Kentucky, will miss you. You were loved by many. R. I. P. Jared Lorenzen

Retire his jersey, build a statue of him outside of Commonwelth Stadium!!!

As a native Kentuckian looking in from afar, the loss of Jared is a wicked knee wobbling gut punch. As Matt said, there are only a handful of native born guys who reach the stature Jared has. He embodied all the traits that characterize an honest to goodness folk hero and losing him so soon leaves a real void in the cosmic fabric of BBN and yet, in some twistedly cruel sense, only adds to his legendary status. Beloved for so many reasons, it is truly a sad, sad time for all who are Big Blue. Prayers and much love to his family and friends.

South Carolina fan and he was very special

RIP big fella. You were always just... one of us. You are and will alway be, a legend. #BBN

Great player. Loved watching him. RIP

He was a great quarterback! RIP #22

RIP Jared The Big Blue Nation will always love you! 🙏🏼

J-Load was a terrific athlete regardless of how large he was. I'm a Gator but I also like UK and I always enjoyed watching him play because it was exciting to watch such a big guy do the things he did as a QB. 100 years from now people will watch video of him playing and be just as amazed. RIP Jared, RIP.

Loved watching the 'Hefty Lefty' play! He played with heart and loved Kentucky. I would love to see the #22 jersey retired and renaming the Catwalk to the "Jared Lorenzen Catwalk" so that at every home game, every UK fan and player can walk with him!

Everyone here in this area are heartbroken for their family. But a did live a full life. Rest in peace bro.

RIP Jared. You were a terrific, often thrilling QB, but an even better person. Btw, he was not drafted by the Giants. He signed with them after the draft.

He wasn't drafted by the Giants....He was an undrafted free agent!

As a Giants fan, my deepest condolences go out to Lorenzen family. You are a champion, Mr. Lorenzen. May you rest in peace.

As a fan from England who started following the Giants in 2004, The Hefty Lefty was an instant fan favourite - always good for a yard when necessary. I never really paid any attention to his backstory until it was too late - and I really regret that. Rest in peace big man

Well done, very touching tribute. I have this memory of Jared playing in high school. Back then, Highlands was so dominant that we really only payed token attention to the game, because we were going to be up by a lot quickly. But I have this memory of watching him flip a blitzing corner over his back. He dipped his shoulder and, bam, right over. Like it was scripted. I couldn’t tell you who we were playing, hell it might not be accurate, just a composite of several plays of Jared dodging defenders that were half his weight. His passing devastated me, as if he were a family member. His public struggle with his weight helped to motivate and inspire me to fight harder with my own battle with my weight... I don’t know how to finish this though off, Jared will forever be my favorite UK player.

I refed jarred in little league watched him develope into one best h.s. q.b.s u will ever see! He played at highlands one the most pressure packed programs in the nation. I've watched and played in nky h.s. football his highlands team with derek smith was the best team i ever saw in nky. Then 1 game i went to watch him in collage was aganist arkansas in the 7 o.t. game. But as they said he was a better person! He never meet a stranger and always gave his time to fans and the BBN! you will be missed #22.

His number should be on the uniforms this year. A lot of us kentuckians struggle with weight . Most of the men in my family has died from weight problems.

As in real life "The Fat Kid" has to develop a unique personality and sense of humor that we all love. He had it... with a Kentucky twist, which made it better. Cool Guy.

A wonderful tribute to a great player and person. 💔💙

THE BBQ - Big Beautiful Quarterback. Kentucky LEGEND. 22 will always be the BBQ.

You all did a great job

Great job with the show. What a great Wildcat!

Vaya con Dios, big guy. California fan of the man.

RIP Lorenzen. Dude was an inspirational athlete.

I'd love to know the six people who gave this a thumbs down. Probably Louisville fans.. Rip Jared you were truly one of a kind

Hate to hear this, I’m a Razorback and will never forget the 7 OT game.....God speed big man...God speed.

Rest in peace double deuce.Your loved and already missed.Go Big Blue!

Great Tribute

I'll bet that Coach Mark Stoops is a MASON .

What a waste of great talent . And a good guy .Died way to young .Prayers to his family and may he Rest in Peace . Excellent video by the way Hey Kentucky .

I went off at Qdoba when I heard this I cry

It's not Alabama or USC but Kentucky had another guy number 1 overall and hefty lefty had more yds. He could really play. In college he looked like a slightly bigher Ben Rothelensberger. If he had better habbits he could of sticked around longer. Got a ring backing up Eli mad respect and rip.

Vol fan here damn i hated to hear he passes loved watching jared play he was so fun to watch and couldnt help but root for every game but 1. I remember seeing a team send a cornerback or safety blitz and the dude hit jared hard and bounced off him and to jared it looked like a fly had hit him almost almost like he didnt really fill it it didnt budge him. Damn rip and prayers to your family and your kids

Shame on the people who down voted this...

jared should be a motto of all football players

He was awesome qb .

RIP #22.

#KENTUCKYLEGEND4EVER

😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

R.I.P.

I'm a die hard GATOR for life but I was a fan of the Hefty Lefty

RIP

Ok Mitch, retire 22. You owe this to not only BBN, but his kids and family.

sorry for your lose );

So Sad.

R.I.P HEFTY LEFTY!!!!

GREAT THUMBNAIL CAUSE THATS HIM HE WAS A THRASHER IN 3 SPORTS. BASEBALL2

#RipBigBlue22

rip jared

Seems like he had the same kind of fire as Brett Farve

Rip

loss to the world. he was world famous among the "American football" diaspora

How am I supposed to sack him

He was a babe Ruth figure.

There is an error in the story as good as he was he went undrafted no one picked him but he was signed with the New York Giants

Ok people. So he WASN'T drafted! Who really cares? This was a good tribute to Jared. Now go back to kicking your dog.

RIP Jared Lorenzen this is no dig at him what so ever. Sorry Matt Jones but i don't really like you at all so that makes this even easier to say. If your going to report on sports you should atleast look up and study the facts. He went undradted and was picked up as a free agent by the Giants......

0

he was undrafted

The news reporter is so fake acting like he knew him on a personal level well he's clearly reading a teleprompter, he couldn't care less that Jared died.This is clearly not the tribute he deserved

This sounds like more of "lets make fun of him" than anything else. wow.

Well said

RIP
