Terry Wilson, marching band honor former Kentucky QB Jared Lorenzen with Belk Bowl tributes
This past summer, Kentucky lost one of its football legends as former quarterback Jared Lorenzen died at the age of 38.
Lorenzen was a fan favorite who played for the Wildcats from 2000-03 before going on to play in the NFL. And Kentucky isn’t letting people forget about one of the best quarterbacks in program history.
After the Wildcats notched a 37-30 win over Virginia Tech in the Belk Bowl on Tuesday, junior quarterback Terry Wilson took to Twitter to dedicate the win to Lorenzen:

That wasn’t the only way the Wildcats honored Lorenzen in their final game of the season.
During halftime, Kentucky’s marching band got into a “22” formation, which was Lorenzen’s number during his playing days for the Wildcats. The band did the same thing earlier this season when Kentucky played Arkansas at home on Oct. 12:

It was a great all-around day for the Wildcats, who ended the season with their fourth consecutive win to finish the year at 8-5.
