Tyler Lorenzen, 23, the two year starting quarter back for Uconn, is trying to further his football career. According to Courant.com, "He dropped back to throw passes. He lined up as a receiver to catch them. He went on the other side of the ball to try to pick them off as a defensive back."
Lorezen, who started his college football as a wide receiver for Iowa State, transferred to Palomar Community College in San Marcos, Calif. to play quarterback, which got him to UConn. Now, Lorenzen is trying to play as a tight end.
One advantage of transitioning from quarterback to tight end is that he is very smart and has a mind for the game. Mike Tice, an assistant coach for the Jaguars, had good things to say about Lorenzen. "We were working on a new formation and someone was misaligned and you can see Tyler directing him to the right spot."
Another thing Lorenzen has going for him is that he is a very fearless, physical player, not afraid to take a hit. The Jaguars know that Lorenzen has a great attitude, putting his all towards whatever he needs to achieve.
"He just needs more time on the job and gain additional leg strength for when we get in pads," Tice said. "He will get that done in the weight room."
