“These are the types of dudes as kids, man… this is what fueled you as a f—— football player, man,” Travis said as highlights from Lorenzen’s time in college played.
Lorenzen, who died in 2019, is a 1999 Highlands graduate. He was named Kentucky Mr. Football for the 1998 season, when he led the Bluebirds to a 15-0 record and a state championship. He threw for 3,392 yards and 45 touchdowns that season, and rushed for 904 yards and 15 scores.
He then went on to be a record-setting quarterback at UK, before backing up Eli Manning at quarterback for the New York Giants.
