BIO: Starter the past four seasons who threw for 56.8 percent/2,221/16/8 as a senior after 56 percent/2,267/24/5 during his junior campaign. Sophomore totals included 57.2 percent/2,179/19/7 after 53.6 percent/3,687/19/21 as a freshman. Weighed 288 pounds at the Combine and was 21.6 percent body fat. Reportedly has been in excess of 300 pounds in college.

POSITIVES: Big, strong left handed passer that must refine his total game. Sets to deliver the ball with good footwork, strong in the pocket and tough to bring down. Patient, buys time for receivers and waits for the last possible minute before releasing the throw. Scrambles outside of tackle and makes the pass on the move. Fires the ball downfield, throws darts and all the passes have speed. Vocal leader that works hard to make positive plays.

NEGATIVES: Stares down the primary target and rarely goes through receiver progressions. Hesitant making decisions, unsure of himself and tosses the ball up for grabs. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and gets antsy. Whips the ball from the side and does not have a consistent throwing motion.

ANALYSIS: Fondly referred to as the "Hefty Lefty" because of his enormous size, Lorenzen is a good athlete with solid underlying quarterback skills. Must refine his techniques and become more of a passer rather than a thrower and obviously weight will be an issue for Lorenzen. Could be a productive passer at the next level if he focuses on improving the fundamentals.
