Jared Lorenzen was one of the finest people I have known....a better person than a player. He was a huge part of our KSR family and an even larger part of the BBM family.

My heart is broken for his family and friends. God Bless the soul of our amazing friend

Jared Lorenzen was a warm, caring, deeply introspective man, totally committed to his family. He was really funny, too--and man, what an athlete.

Man. RIP Jared Lorenzen. One of the most unique and kind-hearted teammates I ever had. Very very sad to see you go.

Jared Lorenzen was a joy to watch and cover as a player. But I’ll remember him most for being just a good, fun-loving guy. Gone way too soon. Rest easy 22.

Another gone too soon. Jared Lorenzen was a few years older than me and used to enjoy watching him sling the rock. Tough to fathom. Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones. #RIPJL

So sad to hear of the passing of Jared Lorenzen. His Ft. Thomas Highlands team knocked us out of the 1997 State Tournament in the semi-finals.

I know he was a great football player, he was also a great basketball player and person as well. https://t.co/IXSOstYtPY

Heartbreaking that Jared Lorenzen is gone. Forever one of my favorite players. He’s a big reason I fell in love with college football. There will never be another like him. RIP 22

Jared Lorenzen brought so much joy into our lives every Saturday he donned the blue & white. Played with so much passion and pride. This is a severe loss to all of BBN but more importantly to his close friends and family. God Bless everyone linked to J-Lo, praying for peace.

The passing of Jared Lorenzen really hitting me he was the first football jersey I had and the one who made me love Kentucky Football. Rest Easy!

I'm so sad man. Jared Lorenzen was the first football player and quarterback I looked up to. My first ever UK game I attended was the game against Arkansas that went into 7 overtimes. I remember Jared turning and asking fans why they were leaving because they were going to miss

RIP Jared Lorenzen. One of the most unique, fun to watch athletes of my lifetime with an engaging, charismatic, self-deprecating personality to match.

Man Jared Lorenzen always amazed even back in his days at Highlands playing at the Sweet 16 at how athletic he was at that size...And obviously something special on the gridiron. Awful news to hear about this death.
