On Saturday, October 12th, Kentucky will honor their late, great former Kentucky Wildcat Jared Lorenzen during their home game against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Lorenzen, who lost his battle to obesity this summer, passed away at age 38.
The University of Kentucky $22 off tickets to their home game against Arkansas when purchasers use the code “TWENTYTWO” at TicketMaster.com. This day will also be recognized as “Jared Lorenzen Day,” forever celebrating the life of the extraordinary Wildcat.
Lorenzen, a spectacular player for the Wildcats but more importantly an impeccable human being, will be truly missed by family, friends and the fans of Big Blue Nation. October 12th will forever be a special day in the Bluegrass.
