JoeF Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Jeremy SchaapVerified account @JeremySchaap In a text to my colleague @RussDinallo, who produced our E:60 story on Jared Lorenzen, Lorenzen's mother Janet confirmed that Jared died today. He was only 38. Janet said, "I lost my sweet boy today after a long hard fight." Sad. Could never defeat his health and diet issues....There was always something mystical about a beer league guy playing QB in D1 and the Pros. A big personality. RIP... Perhaps one of his finest moments even in defeat--7OT vs the Razorbacks in 2003...Jason Peters and the Senator George Wilson with OT TDs and 2 PT conversions for Arkanasas Edited July 3, 2019 by JoeF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Bummer.....he was always viewed as something of a circus act because of his weight, but he made it to the top tier of professional sports, which is better than 99% of the population. Its sad when anyone dies that young. May he rest in peace. I'm sorry for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought he was a circus act He was a pro QB who played with an unorthodox style He HAD to be huge with his play style .. he was playing backyard football in an organized sport I loved the hefty lefty Edited July 3, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Oddly, I had just been reading a week ago how Dave Portney sold Barstool Sports (51%) to some media corp..............And, the guy who put them together was Jared Lorenzen. I was like Wow, he must be doing good..............Then, I hear he's in ICU like three days later. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
